What the 2024 FBI UCR record shows for Monroe County, NY
Position in the state cohort
Monroe County sits mid-pack among comparable New York counties
At 20.7 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Monroe County ranks 25 of 39 — above 14 of the 38 other New York counties whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test and carries a matched Census denominator. That is -22.2% against the cohort median of 26.6. 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 17.6 per 100,000 in 2020 to 20.7 in 2024 (+17.2%). The highest observed value was 26.2 in 2023 and the lowest 17.6 in 2020. Years whose submission failed the completeness test are left out of this comparison rather than plotted as change.
Offense mix
The reported mix leans further toward property offenses than the state cohort
Violent offenses are 5.9% of the 2,648 Part I offenses reported in Monroe County for 2024, against a median of 11.4% across comparable New York counties — a gap of 5.4 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 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.
