What the 2024 FBI UCR record shows for Pinal County, AZ
Position in the state cohort
Pinal County reported a lower violent-crime rate than most comparable Arizona counties
At 59.0 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Pinal County ranks 8 of 9 — above 1 of the 8 other Arizona counties whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test and carries a matched Census denominator. That is -18.0% against the cohort median of 72.0. Counties that did not report, or that reported implausibly low totals, are excluded from this cohort rather than counted as low-crime.
Offense mix
The reported mix leans further toward property offenses than the state cohort
Violent offenses are 16.9% of the 1,489 Part I offenses reported in Pinal County for 2024, against a median of 31.0% across comparable Arizona counties — a gap of 14.1 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.
Property-offense composition
Larceny-theft dominates the property total more than it does across the cohort
Larceny-theft is 70.3% of reported property offenses in Pinal County, against a cohort median of 59.0%. The remainder is burglary (209) and motor vehicle theft (159). Composition differences of this size usually track what kinds of places and property are present in a jurisdiction.
2020–2024 direction
The reported violent-crime rate ended the window lower
Across 5 comparable reporting years, the rate moved from 63.3 per 100,000 in 2020 to 59.0 in 2024 (-6.7%). The highest observed value was 73.1 in 2021 and the lowest 59.0 in 2024. Years whose submission failed the completeness test are left out of this comparison rather than plotted as change.
On a very 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.
