What the 2024 FBI UCR record shows for Knox County, IN
Position in the state cohort
Knox County reported a higher violent-crime rate than most comparable Indiana counties
At 102.0 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Knox County ranks 7 of 42 — above 35 of the 41 other Indiana counties whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test and carries a matched Census denominator. That is +155.3% against the cohort median of 39.9. Counties that did not report, or that reported implausibly low totals, are excluded from this cohort rather than counted as low-crime.
Offense mix
Violent offenses make up an unusually large share of the reported mix
Violent offenses are 34.9% of the 106 Part I offenses reported in Knox County for 2024, against a median of 19.0% across comparable Indiana counties — a gap of 15.9 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.
Property-offense composition
Burglary and vehicle theft carry more of the property total than they do across the cohort
Larceny-theft is 53.6% of reported property offenses in Knox County, against a cohort median of 63.9%. The remainder is burglary (20) and motor vehicle theft (12). 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.
