Property-offense composition

Larceny-theft is 75.8% of reported property offenses in Madison County, against a cohort median of 60.2%. The remainder is burglary (34) and motor vehicle theft (19). 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.
