Jackson County sits mid-pack among comparable Alabama counties
At 89.4 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Jackson County ranks 23 of 56 — above 33 of the 55 other Alabama counties whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test and carries a matched Census denominator.

2024 reported record
Larceny-theft is the most reported offence in Jackson County
Of the 209 Part I offences Jackson County reported for 2024, 22.5% were violent. Aggravated assault leads the violent categories at 35, and larceny-theft leads the property categories at 101, against a population of 52,579. Alabama has too few counties with a comparable 2024 submission to place this record against an in-state cohort, so it is reported on its own terms.
On a 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.
