What the 2024 FBI UCR record shows for Juneau County, WI
Position in the state cohort
Juneau County reported a higher violent-crime rate than most comparable Wisconsin counties
At 153.5 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Juneau County ranks 4 of 64 — above 60 of the 63 other Wisconsin counties whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test and carries a matched Census denominator. That is +216.3% against the cohort median of 48.5. Counties that did not report, or that reported implausibly low totals, are excluded from this cohort rather than counted as low-crime.
2020–2024 direction
The reported violent-crime rate ended the window higher
Across 5 comparable reporting years, the rate moved from 101.1 per 100,000 in 2020 to 153.5 in 2024 (+51.9%). The highest observed value was 175.9 in 2021 and the lowest 101.1 in 2020. 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 35.7% of the 115 Part I offenses reported in Juneau County for 2024, against a median of 19.6% across comparable Wisconsin counties — a gap of 16.1 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
Burglary and vehicle theft carry more of the property total than they do across the cohort
Larceny-theft is 64.9% of reported property offenses in Juneau County, against a cohort median of 73.9%. The remainder is burglary (11) and motor vehicle theft (15). Composition differences of this size usually track what kinds of places and property are present in a jurisdiction.
Mid-size county rows still aggregate voluntary UCR submissions. Per-100,000 rates need a matched 2020 Census population; unmatched stay count-only. County-wide totals rarely describe any single town inside the line.

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. Statewide comparisons draw on the state UCR program. Verify with FBI.gov UCR and Census.gov QuickFacts.
County Table 10 totals are voluntary agency filings: incomplete coverage is not a county crime measure, and a countywide figure is not a neighbourhood verdict.
