Pacific County, WA reported 30 violent crimes per 100,000 in FBI UCR 2024
According to the FBI Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Program for 2024, Pacific County, WA agencies reported 7 violent and 50 property offenses. That equals about 30 violent and 214 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
Pacific County reported 7 violent offences in 2024 against a population of 23,365. 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.
Position in the state cohort
At 30.0 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Pacific County ranks 33 of 35 — above 2 of the 34 other Washington counties whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test and carries a matched Census denominator. That is -53.6% against the cohort median of 64.6. Counties that did not report, or that reported implausibly low totals, are excluded from this cohort rather than counted as low-crime.
Property-offense composition
Larceny-theft is 72.0% of reported property offenses in Pacific County, against a cohort median of 58.7%. The remainder is burglary (12) and motor vehicle theft (2). Composition differences of this size usually track what kinds of places and property are present in a jurisdiction.
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.
