What the 2024 FBI UCR record shows for Johnson County, WY
Small-count caution
The violent-crime count is small enough that the derived rate is unstable
Johnson County reported 4 violent offences in 2024 against a population of 8,447. 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.
2020–2024 direction
The reported violent-crime rate ended the window lower
Across 5 comparable reporting years, the rate moved from 106.5 per 100,000 in 2020 to 47.4 in 2024 (-55.6%). The highest observed value was 106.5 in 2020 and the lowest 35.5 in 2022. Years whose submission failed the completeness test are left out of this comparison rather than plotted as change.
Position in the state cohort
Johnson County sits mid-pack among comparable Wyoming counties
At 47.4 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Johnson County ranks 6 of 19 — above 13 of the 18 other Wyoming counties whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test and carries a matched Census denominator. That is +53.8% against the cohort median of 30.8. 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 10.0% of the 40 Part I offenses reported in Johnson County for 2024, against a median of 15.9% across comparable Wyoming counties — a gap of 5.9 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.
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.

FBI Table 10 supplies county offense counts but no resident population. Where this page shows a per-100,000 rate, the denominator is a separately matched 2020 U.S. Census Bureau county population; unmatched county rows remain count-only.
