Shasta County sits mid-pack among comparable California counties
At 149.3 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Shasta County ranks 23 of 56 — above 33 of the 55 other California counties whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test and carries a matched Census denominator.

Offense mix
Violent offenses make up an unusually large share of the reported mix
Violent offenses are 34.5% of the 789 Part I offenses reported in Shasta County for 2024, against a median of 29.6% across comparable California counties — a gap of 4.9 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 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.
