What the 2024 FBI UCR record shows for Monroe County, MI
Position in the state cohort
Monroe County reported a higher violent-crime rate than most comparable Michigan counties
At 144.7 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Monroe County ranks 13 of 67 — above 54 of the 66 other Michigan counties whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test and carries a matched Census denominator. That is +88.8% against the cohort median of 76.6. 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 19.2% of the 1,165 Part I offenses reported in Monroe County for 2024, against a median of 24.5% across comparable Michigan counties — a gap of 5.3 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.
