What the 2024 FBI UCR record shows for Tioga County, NY

Property-offense composition

Burglary and vehicle theft carry more of the property total than they do across the cohort

Larceny-theft is 21.0% of reported property offenses in Tioga County, against a cohort median of 81.9%. The remainder is burglary (200) and motor vehicle theft (3). Composition differences of this size usually track what kinds of places and property are present in a jurisdiction.

Small-count caution

The violent-crime count is small enough that the derived rate is unstable

Tioga County reported 18 violent offences in 2024 against a population of 48,455. 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.

Position in the state cohort

Tioga County reported a higher violent-crime rate than most comparable New York counties

At 37.1 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Tioga County ranks 10 of 39 — above 29 of the 38 other New York counties whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test and carries a matched Census denominator. That is +48.6% against the cohort median of 25.0. 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

The reported violent-crime rate ended the window higher

Across 3 comparable reporting years, the rate moved from 28.9 per 100,000 in 2020 to 37.1 in 2024 (+28.6%). The highest observed value was 37.1 in 2024 and the lowest 28.9 in 2020. Years whose submission failed the completeness test are left out of this comparison rather than plotted as change.

Offense mix

The reported mix leans further toward property offenses than the state cohort

Violent offenses are 6.5% of the 275 Part I offenses reported in Tioga County for 2024, against a median of 11.4% across comparable New York counties — a gap of 4.8 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.

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.
