Position in the state cohort
Spartanburg County sits mid-pack among comparable South Carolina counties
At 351.5 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Spartanburg County ranks 16 of 43 — above 27 of the 42 other South Carolina 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 27.9% of the 4,129 Part I offenses reported in Spartanburg County for 2024, against a median of 21.1% across comparable South Carolina counties — a gap of 6.8 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.
2020–2024 direction
The reported violent-crime rate ended the window higher
Across 5 comparable reporting years, the rate moved from 304.0 per 100,000 in 2020 to 351.5 in 2024 (+15.6%). The highest observed value was 379.3 in 2023 and the lowest 304.0 in 2020. Years whose submission failed the completeness test are left out of this comparison rather than plotted as change.
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.

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.
