What the 2024 FBI UCR record shows for Tuscaloosa County, AL
Position in the state cohort
Tuscaloosa County sits mid-pack among comparable Alabama counties
At 46.7 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Tuscaloosa County ranks 39 of 56 — above 17 of the 55 other Alabama counties whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test and carries a matched Census denominator. That is -42.3% against the cohort median of 80.9. Counties that did not report, or that reported implausibly low totals, are excluded from this cohort rather than counted as low-crime.
Offense mix
The reported mix leans further toward property offenses than the state cohort
Violent offenses are 18.4% of the 576 Part I offenses reported in Tuscaloosa County for 2024, against a median of 21.6% across comparable Alabama counties — a gap of 3.2 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 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.
