What the 2024 FBI UCR record shows for Ontario County, NY

Position in the state cohort

Ontario County reported a higher violent-crime rate than most comparable New York counties

At 59.6 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Ontario County ranks 2 of 39 — above 37 of the 38 other New York counties whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test and carries a matched Census denominator. That is +138.2% against the cohort median of 25.0. 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 51.6 per 100,000 in 2020 to 59.6 in 2024 (+15.5%). The highest observed value was 59.6 in 2024 and the lowest 41.8 in 2022. Years whose submission failed the completeness test are left out of this comparison rather than plotted as change.

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.
