What the 2024 FBI UCR record shows for St. Clair County, MI

Position in the state cohort

St. Clair County sits mid-pack among comparable Michigan counties

At 100.4 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, St. Clair County ranks 25 of 67 — above 42 of the 66 other Michigan counties whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test and carries a matched Census denominator. That is +31.0% against the cohort median of 76.6. Counties that did not report, or that reported implausibly low totals, are excluded from this cohort rather than counted as low-crime.

2020–2024 direction

The reported violent-crime rate ended the window higher

Across 5 comparable reporting years, the rate moved from 86.0 per 100,000 in 2020 to 100.4 in 2024 (+16.7%). The highest observed value was 114.1 in 2023 and the lowest 86.0 in 2020. Years whose submission failed the completeness test are left out of this comparison rather than plotted as change.

Offense mix

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

Violent offenses are 27.8% of the 579 Part I offenses reported in St. Clair County for 2024, against a median of 23.9% across comparable Michigan counties — a gap of 3.9 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.
