What the 2024 FBI UCR record shows for Mohave County, AZ

Offense mix

The reported mix leans further toward property offenses than the state cohort

Violent offenses are 13.4% of the 1,541 Part I offenses reported in Mohave County for 2024, against a median of 31.0% across comparable Arizona counties — a gap of 17.6 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.

Position in the state cohort

Mohave County reported a higher violent-crime rate than most comparable Arizona counties

At 96.6 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Mohave County ranks 3 of 9 — above 6 of the 8 other Arizona counties whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test and carries a matched Census denominator. That is +40.6% against the cohort median of 68.7. Counties that did not report, or that reported implausibly low totals, are excluded from this cohort rather than counted as low-crime.

2020–2024 direction

The reported violent-crime rate ended the window higher

Across 5 comparable reporting years, the rate moved from 71.7 per 100,000 in 2020 to 96.6 in 2024 (+34.6%). The highest observed value was 123.3 in 2022 and the lowest 71.7 in 2020. Years whose submission failed the completeness test are left out of this comparison rather than plotted as change.

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.
