2020–2024 direction

The reported violent-crime rate ended the window lower

Across 5 comparable reporting years, the rate moved from 127.3 per 100,000 in 2020 to 105.8 in 2024 (-16.9%). The highest observed value was 127.3 in 2020 and the lowest 74.4 in 2021. 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.
