What the 2024 FBI UCR record shows for Ingham County, MI
Position in the state cohort
Ingham County sits mid-pack among comparable Michigan counties
At 57.9 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Ingham County ranks 46 of 67 — above 21 of the 66 other Michigan counties whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test and carries a matched Census denominator.

2020–2024 direction
The reported violent-crime rate ended the window lower
Across 5 comparable reporting years, the rate moved from 71.3 per 100,000 in 2020 to 57.9 in 2024 (-18.7%). The highest observed value was 71.3 in 2020 and the lowest 49.1 in 2022. Years whose submission failed the completeness test are left out of this comparison rather than plotted as change.
Offense mix
Violent offenses make up an unusually large share of the reported mix
Violent offenses are 29.5% of the 560 Part I offenses reported in Ingham County for 2024, against a median of 23.9% across comparable Michigan counties — a gap of 5.5 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.
On a very large county row, county figures aggregate every participating agency inside the county. Participation is voluntary. Per-100,000 rates use a separately matched 2020 U.S. Census county population, never a Table 10 field; unmatched counties stay count-only. A large county line encloses very different communities.
