What the 2024 FBI UCR record shows for Sheboygan County, WI

Position in the state cohort

Sheboygan County sits mid-pack among comparable Wisconsin counties

At 34.7 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Sheboygan County ranks 40 of 64 — above 24 of the 63 other Wisconsin counties whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test and carries a matched Census denominator. That is -30.4% against the cohort median of 49.9. Counties that did not report, or that reported implausibly low totals, are excluded from this cohort rather than counted as low-crime.

Offense mix

The reported mix leans further toward property offenses than the state cohort

Violent offenses are 16.5% of the 248 Part I offenses reported in Sheboygan County for 2024, against a median of 19.7% across comparable Wisconsin counties — a gap of 3.2 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.

2020–2024 direction

The reported violent-crime rate ended the window lower

Across 5 comparable reporting years, the rate moved from 37.3 per 100,000 in 2020 to 34.7 in 2024 (-6.8%). The highest observed value was 37.3 in 2020 and the lowest 24.6 in 2021. 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.
