What the 2024 FBI UCR record shows for Lapeer County, MI

Position in the state cohort

Lapeer County sits mid-pack among comparable Michigan counties

At 57.5 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Lapeer County ranks 47 of 67 — above 20 of the 66 other Michigan counties whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test and carries a matched Census denominator. That is -25.8% against the cohort median of 77.6. 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 lower

Across 5 comparable reporting years, the rate moved from 64.3 per 100,000 in 2020 to 57.5 in 2024 (-10.5%). The highest observed value was 77.9 in 2023 and the lowest 57.5 in 2024. Years whose submission failed the completeness test are left out of this comparison rather than plotted as change.

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.
