Position in the state cohort
Taylor County reported a higher violent-crime rate than most comparable Florida counties
At 243.2 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Taylor County ranks 5 of 37 — above 32 of the 36 other Florida counties whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test and carries a matched Census denominator. That is +58.0% against the cohort median of 153.9. Counties that did not report, or that reported implausibly low totals, are excluded from this cohort rather than counted as low-crime.
Property-offense composition
Burglary and vehicle theft carry more of the property total than they do across the cohort
Larceny-theft is 46.0% of reported property offenses in Taylor County, against a cohort median of 77.2%. The remainder is burglary (58) and motor vehicle theft (29). Composition differences of this size usually track what kinds of places and property are present in a jurisdiction.
2020–2024 direction
The reported violent-crime rate ended the window lower
Across 3 comparable reporting years, the rate moved from 298.2 per 100,000 in 2020 to 243.2 in 2024 (-18.5%). The highest observed value was 298.2 in 2020 and the lowest 243.2 in 2024. Years whose submission failed the completeness test are left out of this comparison rather than plotted as change.
Offense mix
Violent offenses make up an unusually large share of the reported mix
Violent offenses are 24.8% of the 214 Part I offenses reported in Taylor County for 2024, against a median of 20.7% across comparable Florida counties — a gap of 4.0 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.
