Small-count caution
The violent-crime count is small enough that the derived rate is unstable
Medina County reported 22 violent offences in 2024 against a population of 182,470. At this volume one additional or one fewer report moves the per-100,000 rate noticeably, so the figure is better read as a data point than as a precise measurement, and year-to-year swings here are expected.
Position in the state cohort
Medina County reported a lower violent-crime rate than most comparable Ohio counties
At 12.1 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Medina County ranks 63 of 66 — above 3 of the 65 other Ohio counties whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test and carries a matched Census denominator. That is -73.1% against the cohort median of 44.8. Counties that did not report, or that reported implausibly low totals, are excluded from this cohort rather than counted as low-crime.
2021–2024 direction
The reported violent-crime rate ended the window lower
Across 3 comparable reporting years, the rate moved from 16.4 per 100,000 in 2021 to 12.1 in 2024 (-26.7%). The highest observed value was 16.4 in 2021 and the lowest 12.1 in 2024. 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 81.6% of reported property offenses in Medina County, against a cohort median of 71.6%. The remainder is burglary (27) and motor vehicle theft (7). Composition differences of this size usually track what kinds of places and property are present in a jurisdiction.
Offense mix
The reported mix leans further toward property offenses than the state cohort
Violent offenses are 10.6% of the 207 Part I offenses reported in Medina County for 2024, against a median of 15.0% across comparable Ohio counties — a gap of 4.3 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.
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.

FBI Table 10 supplies county offense counts but no resident population. Where this page shows a per-100,000 rate, the denominator is a separately matched 2020 U.S. Census Bureau county population; unmatched county rows remain count-only. Statewide comparisons draw on the state UCR program. Verify with FBI.gov UCR and Census.gov QuickFacts.
County Table 10 totals are voluntary agency filings: incomplete coverage is not a county crime measure, and a countywide figure is not a neighbourhood verdict.
