What the 2024 FBI UCR record shows for Lewis County, WA
Position in the state cohort
Lewis County reported a higher violent-crime rate than most comparable Washington counties
At 113.2 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Lewis County ranks 8 of 35 — above 27 of the 34 other Washington counties whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test and carries a matched Census denominator. That is +77.5% against the cohort median of 63.8. 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 higher
Across 5 comparable reporting years, the rate moved from 81.6 per 100,000 in 2020 to 113.2 in 2024 (+38.8%). The highest observed value was 113.2 in 2024 and the lowest 81.6 in 2020. 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 20.0% of the 464 Part I offenses reported in Lewis County for 2024, against a median of 13.5% across comparable Washington counties — a gap of 6.6 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 49.3% of reported property offenses in Lewis County, against a cohort median of 58.9%. The remainder is burglary (138) and motor vehicle theft (50). Composition differences of this size usually track what kinds of places and property are present in a jurisdiction.
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.
