What the 2024 FBI UCR record shows for Sebastian County, AR
Position in the state cohort
Sebastian County reported a lower violent-crime rate than most comparable Arkansas counties
At 17.2 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Sebastian County ranks 71 of 71 — above 0 of the 70 other Arkansas counties whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test and carries a matched Census denominator. That is -90.0% against the cohort median of 172.9. Counties that did not report, or that reported implausibly low totals, are excluded from this cohort rather than counted as low-crime.
Small-count caution
The violent-crime count is small enough that the derived rate is unstable
Sebastian County reported 22 violent offences in 2024 against a population of 127,799. At this volume one additional or one fewer report moves the per-100,000 rate noticeably, so the figure is better read as a data point than as a precise measurement, and year-to-year swings here are expected.
2020–2024 direction
The reported violent-crime rate ended the window lower
Across 5 comparable reporting years, the rate moved from 39.9 per 100,000 in 2020 to 17.2 in 2024 (-56.9%). The highest observed value was 39.9 in 2020 and the lowest 12.5 in 2022. 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.

FBI Table 10 supplies county offense counts but no resident population. Where this page shows a per-100,000 rate, the denominator is a separately matched 2020 U.S. Census Bureau county population; unmatched county rows remain count-only. Statewide comparisons draw on the state UCR program. Verify with FBI.gov UCR and Census.gov QuickFacts.
County Table 10 totals are voluntary agency filings: incomplete coverage is not a county crime measure, and a countywide figure is not a neighbourhood verdict.
