What the 2024 FBI UCR record shows for Marion County, OR
Position in the state cohort
Marion County reported a lower violent-crime rate than most comparable Oregon counties
At 40.5 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Marion County ranks 24 of 28 — above 4 of the 27 other Oregon counties whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test and carries a matched Census denominator. That is -47.4% against the cohort median of 77.0. 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 7.8% of the 1,794 Part I offenses reported in Marion County for 2024, against a median of 15.4% across comparable Oregon counties — a gap of 7.6 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.
2022–2024 direction
The reported violent-crime rate ended the window lower
Across 3 comparable reporting years, the rate moved from 43.9 per 100,000 in 2022 to 40.5 in 2024 (-7.9%). The highest observed value was 43.9 in 2022 and the lowest 40.5 in 2024. Years whose submission failed the completeness test are left out of this comparison rather than plotted as change.
On a very 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.
