Morrison County, MN reported 59 violent crimes per 100,000 in FBI UCR 2024
According to the FBI Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Program for 2024, Morrison County, MN agencies reported 20 violent and 153 property offenses. That equals about 59 violent and 450 property crimes per 100,000 using a verified Census population join. Table 10 coverage is a voluntary subset of U.S. counties.
Small-count caution
Morrison County reported 20 violent offences in 2024 against a population of 34,010. At this volume one additional or one fewer report moves the per-100,000 rate noticeably, so the figure is better read as a data point than as a precise measurement, and year-to-year swings here are expected.
Offense mix
Violent offenses are 11.6% of the 173 Part I offenses reported in Morrison County for 2024, against a median of 19.8% across comparable Minnesota counties — a gap of 8.2 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
At 58.8 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Morrison County ranks 28 of 80 — above 52 of the 79 other Minnesota counties whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test and carries a matched Census denominator. That is +25.9% against the cohort median of 46.7. 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
Across 5 comparable reporting years, the rate moved from 58.8 per 100,000 in 2020 to 58.8 in 2024 (+0.0%). The highest observed value was 94.1 in 2021 and the lowest 58.8 in 2020. Years whose submission failed the completeness test are left out of this comparison rather than plotted as change.
Mid-size county rows still aggregate voluntary UCR submissions. Per-100,000 rates need a matched 2020 Census population; unmatched stay count-only. County-wide totals rarely describe any single town inside the line.

FBI Table 10 supplies county offense counts but no resident population. Where this page shows a per-100,000 rate, the denominator is a separately matched 2020 U.S. Census Bureau county population; unmatched county rows remain count-only. Statewide comparisons draw on the state UCR program. Verify with FBI.gov UCR and Census.gov QuickFacts.
