What the 2024 FBI UCR record shows for Lamoille County, VT

Small-count caution

The violent-crime count is small enough that the derived rate is unstable

Lamoille County reported 7 violent offences in 2024 against a population of 25,945. 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 higher

Across 5 comparable reporting years, the rate moved from 15.4 per 100,000 in 2020 to 27.0 in 2024 (+75.0%). The highest observed value was 42.4 in 2022 and the lowest 15.4 in 2020. Years whose submission failed the completeness test are left out of this comparison rather than plotted as change.

Position in the state cohort

Lamoille County reported a higher violent-crime rate than most comparable Vermont counties

At 27.0 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Lamoille County ranks 2 of 6 — above 4 of the 5 other Vermont counties whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test and carries a matched Census denominator. That is +84.8% against the cohort median of 14.6. Counties that did not report, or that reported implausibly low totals, are excluded from this cohort rather than counted as low-crime.

Share of the state cohort

Lamoille County carries a large share of the reporting cohort’s total offenses

The 42 Part I offenses reported here are 18.0% of the 233 reported across all 6 comparable Vermont counties in 2024. A county this large moves the statewide total on its own, so state-level changes should be read against its population of 25,945 rather than as a uniform shift.

Offense mix

Violent offenses make up an unusually large share of the reported mix

Violent offenses are 16.7% of the 42 Part I offenses reported in Lamoille County for 2024, against a median of 13.6% across comparable Vermont counties — a gap of 3.0 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.

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.
