What the 2024 FBI UCR record shows for Mobile County, AL
Position in the state cohort
Mobile County sits mid-pack among comparable Alabama counties
At 63.9 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Mobile County ranks 33 of 56 — above 23 of the 55 other Alabama counties whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test and carries a matched Census denominator. That is -21.1% against the cohort median of 80.9. Counties that did not report, or that reported implausibly low totals, are excluded from this cohort rather than counted as low-crime.
Offense mix
Violent offenses make up an unusually large share of the reported mix
Violent offenses are 24.9% of the 1,065 Part I offenses reported in Mobile County for 2024, against a median of 21.3% across comparable Alabama counties — a gap of 3.5 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 close to where it started
Across 4 comparable reporting years, the rate moved from 63.9 per 100,000 in 2021 to 63.9 in 2024 (+0.0%). The highest observed value was 79.1 in 2022 and the lowest 39.8 in 2023. 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.
