What the 2024 FBI UCR record shows for Montgomery County, AL
Position in the state cohort
Montgomery County reported a lower violent-crime rate than most comparable Alabama counties
At 34.9 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Montgomery County ranks 47 of 56 — above 9 of the 55 other Alabama counties whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test and carries a matched Census denominator. That is -56.8% 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.
2022–2024 direction
The reported violent-crime rate ended the window lower
Across 3 comparable reporting years, the rate moved from 44.1 per 100,000 in 2022 to 34.9 in 2024 (-20.8%). The highest observed value was 52.8 in 2023 and the lowest 34.9 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 75.1% of reported property offenses in Montgomery County, against a cohort median of 61.8%. The remainder is burglary (46) and motor vehicle theft (51). 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 17.0% of the 470 Part I offenses reported in Montgomery County for 2024, against a median of 21.6% across comparable Alabama counties — a gap of 4.6 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.
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.
