What the 2024 FBI UCR record shows for Tyrrell County, NC

Small-count caution

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

Tyrrell County reported 9 violent offences in 2024 against a population of 3,245. 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

Tyrrell County reported a higher violent-crime rate than most comparable North Carolina counties

At 277.3 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Tyrrell County ranks 8 of 77 — above 69 of the 76 other North Carolina counties whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test and carries a matched Census denominator. That is +128.2% against the cohort median of 121.5. Counties that did not report, or that reported implausibly low totals, are excluded from this cohort rather than counted as low-crime.

2021–2024 direction

The reported violent-crime rate ended the window higher

Across 4 comparable reporting years, the rate moved from 184.9 per 100,000 in 2021 to 277.3 in 2024 (+50.0%). The highest observed value was 493.1 in 2022 and the lowest 184.9 in 2021. Years whose submission failed the completeness test are left out of this comparison rather than plotted as change.

Property-offense composition

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

Larceny-theft is 41.2% of reported property offenses in Tyrrell County, against a cohort median of 58.7%. The remainder is burglary (15) and motor vehicle theft (5). Composition differences of this size usually track what kinds of places and property are present in a jurisdiction.

Small-county UCR rows are especially sensitive to which agencies filed. Per-100,000 rates use a matched 2020 Census population when available; otherwise counts only. Do not treat the county total as a town-level crime level.
