At 13.9 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Kane County ranks 65 of 77 — above 12 of the 76 other Illinois counties whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test and carries a matched Census denominator.

Offense mix
Violent offenses make up an unusually large share of the reported mix
Violent offenses are 25.4% of the 284 Part I offenses reported in Kane County for 2024, against a median of 20.1% across comparable Illinois counties — a gap of 5.2 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.
