What the 2024 FBI UCR record shows for Trinity County, CA
Position in the state cohort
Trinity County reported a higher violent-crime rate than most comparable California counties
At 508.9 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Trinity County ranks 3 of 56 — above 53 of the 55 other California counties whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test and carries a matched Census denominator. That is +337.1% against the cohort median of 116.4. 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 make up an unusually large share of the reported mix
Violent offenses are 36.9% of the 222 Part I offenses reported in Trinity County for 2024, against a median of 29.6% across comparable California counties — a gap of 7.4 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.
Property-offense composition
Burglary and vehicle theft carry more of the property total than they do across the cohort
Larceny-theft is 52.9% of reported property offenses in Trinity County, against a cohort median of 66.2%. The remainder is burglary (63) and motor vehicle theft (3). 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 close to where it started
Across 4 comparable reporting years, the rate moved from 508.9 per 100,000 in 2020 to 508.9 in 2024 (+0.0%). The highest observed value was 595.8 in 2023 and the lowest 508.9 in 2020. Years whose submission failed the completeness test are left out of this comparison rather than plotted as change.
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.
