What the 2024 FBI UCR record shows for Madison County, IN
Position in the state cohort
Madison County sits mid-pack among comparable Indiana counties
At 23.1 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Madison County ranks 31 of 42 — above 11 of the 41 other Indiana counties whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test and carries a matched Census denominator. That is -50.1% against the cohort median of 46.2. Counties that did not report, or that reported implausibly low totals, are excluded from this cohort rather than counted as low-crime.
Offense mix
The reported mix leans further toward property offenses than the state cohort
Violent offenses are 16.6% of the 181 Part I offenses reported in Madison County for 2024, against a median of 21.3% across comparable Indiana counties — a gap of 4.7 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.
2021–2024 direction
The reported violent-crime rate ended the window higher
Across 4 comparable reporting years, the rate moved from 20.7 per 100,000 in 2021 to 23.1 in 2024 (+11.1%). The highest observed value was 23.1 in 2024 and the lowest 15.4 in 2023. Years whose submission failed the completeness test are left out of this comparison rather than plotted as change.
Property-offense composition
Larceny-theft dominates the property total more than it does across the cohort
Larceny-theft is 70.9% of reported property offenses in Madison County, against a cohort median of 62.0%. The remainder is burglary (29) and motor vehicle theft (15). 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.
