What the 2024 FBI UCR record shows for Hot Springs County, WY
Small-count caution
The violent-crime count is small enough that the derived rate is unstable
Hot Springs County reported 0 violent offences in 2024 against a population of 4,621. At this volume one additional or one fewer report moves the per-100,000 rate noticeably, so the figure is better read as a data point than as a precise measurement, and year-to-year swings here are expected.
Position in the state cohort
Hot Springs County reported a lower violent-crime rate than most comparable Wyoming counties
At 0.0 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Hot Springs County ranks 19 of 19 — above 0 of the 18 other Wyoming counties whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test and carries a matched Census denominator. That is -100.0% against the cohort median of 34.0. Counties that did not report, or that reported implausibly low totals, are excluded from this cohort rather than counted as low-crime.
Offense mix
The reported mix leans further toward property offenses than the state cohort
Violent offenses are 0.0% of the 3 Part I offenses reported in Hot Springs County for 2024, against a median of 15.9% across comparable Wyoming counties — a gap of 15.9 points. Offense mix is shaped by which agencies report and how incidents are classified as well as by the underlying offenses, so it describes the reported record rather than a settled difference in conditions.
Property-offense composition
Larceny-theft dominates the property total more than it does across the cohort
Larceny-theft is 100.0% of reported property offenses in Hot Springs County, against a cohort median of 71.3%. The remainder is burglary (0) and motor vehicle theft (0). Composition differences of this size usually track what kinds of places and property are present in a jurisdiction.
Small-county UCR rows are especially sensitive to which agencies filed. Per-100,000 rates use a matched 2020 Census population when available; otherwise counts only. Do not treat the county total as a town-level crime level.
