Property-offense composition
Larceny-theft dominates the property total more than it does across the cohort
Larceny-theft is 79.7% of reported property offenses in Multnomah County, against a cohort median of 66.7%. The remainder is burglary (122) and motor vehicle theft (149). Composition differences of this size usually track what kinds of places and property are present in a jurisdiction.
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.
