Across 5 comparable reporting years, the rate moved from 133.3 per 100,000 in 2020 to 98.5 in 2024 (-26.2%). The highest observed value was 133.3 in 2020 and the lowest 78.5 in 2021. 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 25.0% of the 316 Part I offenses reported in Kosciusko County for 2024, against a median of 19.0% across comparable Indiana counties — a gap of 6.0 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 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.
