Position in the state cohort

At 20.7 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Summit County ranks 55 of 66 — above 11 of the 65 other Ohio 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 higher
Across 5 comparable reporting years, the rate moved from 15.9 per 100,000 in 2020 to 20.7 in 2024 (+30.2%). The highest observed value was 25.4 in 2023 and the lowest 15.9 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 dominates the property total more than it does across the cohort
Larceny-theft is 82.6% of reported property offenses in Summit County, against a cohort median of 71.6%. The remainder is burglary (69) and motor vehicle theft (52). Composition differences of this size usually track what kinds of places and property are present in a jurisdiction.
On a very 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. Statewide comparisons draw on the state UCR program. Verify with FBI.gov UCR and Census.gov QuickFacts.
County Table 10 totals are voluntary agency filings: incomplete coverage is not a county crime measure, and a countywide figure is not a neighbourhood verdict.
