According to the FBI Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Program for 2024, Ramsey County, MN agencies reported 169 violent and 892 property offenses.

2020–2024 direction
Across 5 comparable reporting years, the rate moved from 23.2 per 100,000 in 2020 to 30.6 in 2024 (+32.0%). The highest observed value was 38.9 in 2021 and the lowest 23.2 in 2020. Years whose submission failed the completeness test are left out of this comparison rather than plotted as change.
Position in the state cohort
At 30.6 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Ramsey County ranks 50 of 80 — above 30 of the 79 other Minnesota counties whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test and carries a matched Census denominator. That is -35.6% against the cohort median of 47.5. 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 80.4% of reported property offenses in Ramsey County, against a cohort median of 70.4%. The remainder is burglary (99) and motor vehicle theft (76). Composition differences of this size usually track what kinds of places and property are present in a jurisdiction.
Offense mix
Violent offenses are 15.9% of the 1,061 Part I offenses reported in Ramsey County for 2024, against a median of 19.8% across comparable Minnesota counties — a gap of 3.8 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.
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.
