What the 2024 FBI UCR record shows for Prince George County, VA

Position in the state cohort

Prince George County reported the highest violent-crime rate among comparable Virginia counties

At 320.9 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Prince George County ranks 1 of 94 — above 93 of the 93 other Virginia counties whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test and carries a matched Census denominator. That is +152.2% against the cohort median of 127.2. Counties that did not report, or that reported implausibly low totals, are excluded from this cohort rather than counted as low-crime.

Offense mix

Violent offenses make up an unusually large share of the reported mix

Violent offenses are 28.1% of the 491 Part I offenses reported in Prince George County for 2024, against a median of 16.6% across comparable Virginia counties — a gap of 11.5 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.

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.
