Small-count caution
Towner County reported 0 violent offences in 2024 against a population of 2,162. 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.
2020–2024 direction
Across 5 comparable reporting years, the rate moved from 92.5 per 100,000 in 2020 to 0.0 in 2024 (-100.0%). The highest observed value was 185.0 in 2022 and the lowest 0.0 in 2023. Years whose submission failed the completeness test are left out of this comparison rather than plotted as change.
Position in the state cohort
At 0.0 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Towner County ranks 25 of 30 — above 0 of the 29 other North Dakota counties whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test and carries a matched Census denominator. That is -100.0% against the cohort median of 35.1. Counties that did not report, or that reported implausibly low totals, are excluded from this cohort rather than counted as low-crime.
Offense mix
Violent offenses are 0.0% of the 5 Part I offenses reported in Towner County for 2024, against a median of 11.8% across comparable North Dakota counties — a gap of 11.8 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.
On a small-population county row, small denominators make rates swing on a handful of incidents. Figures are what agencies reported, not a neighbourhood safety grade. Census-matched rates appear only when the join exists.
