What the 2024 FBI UCR record shows for Randolph County, AL

Position in the state cohort

Randolph County reported a higher violent-crime rate than most comparable Alabama counties

At 223.1 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Randolph County ranks 2 of 56 — above 54 of the 55 other Alabama counties whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test and carries a matched Census denominator. That is +197.4% against the cohort median of 75.0. Counties that did not report, or that reported implausibly low totals, are excluded from this cohort rather than counted as low-crime.

2021–2024 direction

The reported violent-crime rate ended the window higher

Across 4 comparable reporting years, the rate moved from 154.8 per 100,000 in 2021 to 223.1 in 2024 (+44.1%). The highest observed value was 223.1 in 2024 and the lowest 127.5 in 2022. Years whose submission failed the completeness test are left out of this comparison rather than plotted as change.

Property-offense composition

Larceny-theft dominates the property total more than it does across the cohort

Larceny-theft is 79.2% of reported property offenses in Randolph County, against a cohort median of 61.8%. The remainder is burglary (31) and motor vehicle theft (0). Composition differences of this size usually track what kinds of places and property are present in a jurisdiction.

Offense mix

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

Violent offenses are 24.7% of the 198 Part I offenses reported in Randolph County for 2024, against a median of 21.3% across comparable Alabama counties — a gap of 3.4 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.
