What the 2024 FBI UCR record shows for Napa County, CA

Position in the state cohort

Napa County reported a lower violent-crime rate than most comparable California counties

At 53.6 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Napa County ranks 45 of 56 — above 11 of the 55 other California counties whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test and carries a matched Census denominator. That is -58.7% against the cohort median of 129.8. 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 4 comparable reporting years, the rate moved from 41.3 per 100,000 in 2020 to 53.6 in 2024 (+29.8%). The highest observed value was 53.6 in 2024 and the lowest 40.6 in 2022. 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 79.7% of reported property offenses in Napa County, against a cohort median of 65.6%. The remainder is burglary (28) and motor vehicle theft (4). Composition differences of this size usually track what kinds of places and property are present in a jurisdiction.

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.
