According to the FBI Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Program for 2024, Stevens County, MN agencies reported 6 violent and 80 property offenses. That equals about 62 violent and 827 property crimes per 100,000 using a verified Census population join. Table 10 coverage is a voluntary subset of U.S. counties.
Small-count caution
Stevens County reported 6 violent offences in 2024 against a population of 9,671. 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 7.0% of the 86 Part I offenses reported in Stevens County for 2024, against a median of 19.8% across comparable Minnesota counties — a gap of 12.8 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 62.0 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Stevens County ranks 25 of 80 — above 55 of the 79 other Minnesota counties whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test and carries a matched Census denominator. That is +32.9% against the cohort median of 46.7. 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
Across 5 comparable reporting years, the rate moved from 51.7 per 100,000 in 2020 to 62.0 in 2024 (+20.0%). The highest observed value was 93.1 in 2023 and the lowest 51.7 in 2020. Years whose submission failed the completeness test are left out of this comparison rather than plotted as change.
Property-offense composition
Larceny-theft is 81.3% of reported property offenses in Stevens County, against a cohort median of 70.4%. The remainder is burglary (14) and motor vehicle theft (1). Composition differences of this size usually track what kinds of places and property are present in a jurisdiction.
Small-county UCR rows are especially sensitive to which agencies filed. Per-100,000 rates use a matched 2020 Census population when available; otherwise counts only. Do not treat the county total as a town-level crime level.

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.
