Steuben County, NY reported 22 violent crimes per 100,000 in FBI UCR 2024
According to the FBI Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Program for 2024, Steuben County, NY agencies reported 21 violent and 101 property offenses. That equals about 22 violent and 108 property crimes per 100,000 using a verified Census population join. Table 10 coverage is a voluntary subset of U.S. counties.
2020–2024 direction
Across 4 comparable reporting years, the rate moved from 10.7 per 100,000 in 2020 to 22.4 in 2024 (+110.0%). The highest observed value was 24.6 in 2023 and the lowest 10.7 in 2020. Years whose submission failed the completeness test are left out of this comparison rather than plotted as change.
Small-count caution
Steuben County reported 21 violent offences in 2024 against a population of 93,584. At this volume one additional or one fewer report moves the per-100,000 rate noticeably, so the figure is better read as a data point than as a precise measurement, and year-to-year swings here are expected.
Offense mix
Violent offenses are 17.2% of the 122 Part I offenses reported in Steuben County for 2024, against a median of 11.1% across comparable New York counties — a gap of 6.1 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 22.4 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Steuben County ranks 23 of 39 — above 16 of the 38 other New York counties whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test and carries a matched Census denominator. That is -15.6% against the cohort median of 26.6. 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.
