According to the FBI Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Program for 2024, St. Louis County, MN agencies reported 68 violent and 434 property offenses.

2020–2024 direction
Across 5 comparable reporting years, the rate moved from 52.4 per 100,000 in 2020 to 34.0 in 2024 (-35.2%). The highest observed value was 52.4 in 2020 and the lowest 34.0 in 2024. Years whose submission failed the completeness test are left out of this comparison rather than plotted as change.
Offense mix
Violent offenses are 13.5% of the 502 Part I offenses reported in St. Louis County for 2024, against a median of 19.8% across comparable Minnesota counties — a gap of 6.2 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.
Position in the state cohort
At 34.0 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, St. Louis County ranks 46 of 80 — above 34 of the 79 other Minnesota counties whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test and carries a matched Census denominator. That is -28.6% against the cohort median of 47.5. Counties that did not report, or that reported implausibly low totals, are excluded from this cohort rather than counted as low-crime.
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.
