2020–2024 direction
Across 5 comparable reporting years, the rate moved from 292.2 per 100,000 in 2020 to 173.2 in 2024 (-40.7%). The highest observed value was 340.9 in 2022 and the lowest 173.2 in 2024. Years whose submission failed the completeness test are left out of this comparison rather than plotted as change.
Position in the state cohort
At 173.2 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Ste. Genevieve County ranks 24 of 77 — above 53 of the 76 other Missouri counties whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test and carries a matched Census denominator. That is +40.5% against the cohort median of 123.3. Counties that did not report, or that reported implausibly low totals, are excluded from this cohort rather than counted as low-crime.
Offense mix
Violent offenses are 32.7% of the 98 Part I offenses reported in Ste. Genevieve County for 2024, against a median of 26.0% across comparable Missouri counties — a gap of 6.6 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.
Mid-size county rows still aggregate voluntary UCR submissions. Per-100,000 rates need a matched 2020 Census population; unmatched stay count-only. County-wide totals rarely describe any single town inside the line.
