Partial agency coverage
Incomplete FBI reporting for this county
Law-enforcement agencies serving Pike County reported
1 violent and
23 property offences to the FBI for 2024 against a population of 58,669. Reporting to the
UCR Program is voluntary, and figures this low for a population this size mean agencies did
not submit complete data, not that little crime occurred. The numbers below are what was
reported; they are not a measure of this county's crime level, and no safety grade is
assigned from them.
What the 2024 FBI UCR record shows for Pike County, KY
Reporting completeness
The reported totals here are too incomplete to describe this county’s crime level
FBI UCR participation is voluntary, and the 2024 submission covering Pike County does not pass the completeness test this site applies for a population of 58,669. The counts below are shown because they are what agencies reported, but they are not treated here as the county’s crime level, and Pike County is excluded from rankings and comparisons on this site for 2024.
Small-count caution
The violent-crime count is small enough that the derived rate is unstable
Pike County reported 1 violent offences in 2024 against a population of 58,669. 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.
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.

FBI Table 10 supplies county offense counts but no resident population. Where this page shows a per-100,000 rate, the denominator is a separately matched 2020 U.S. Census Bureau county population; unmatched county rows remain count-only.
