At 293.6 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, St. Martin County ranks 15 of 52 — above 37 of the 51 other Louisiana counties whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test and carries a matched Census denominator.

2020–2024 direction

The reported violent-crime rate ended the window lower

Across 5 comparable reporting years, the rate moved from 324.5 per 100,000 in 2020 to 293.6 in 2024 (-9.5%). The highest observed value was 386.3 in 2021 and the lowest 276.2 in 2023. 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.
