What the 2024 FBI UCR record shows for Muskegon County, MI
Position in the state cohort
Muskegon County reported a lower violent-crime rate than most comparable Michigan counties
At 23.9 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Muskegon County ranks 62 of 67 — above 5 of the 66 other Michigan counties whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test and carries a matched Census denominator.

Offense mix
The reported mix leans further toward property offenses than the state cohort
Violent offenses are 15.2% of the 276 Part I offenses reported in Muskegon County for 2024, against a median of 24.5% across comparable Michigan counties — a gap of 9.3 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.
