What the 2024 FBI UCR record shows for Utah County, UT

Position in the state cohort

Utah County reported a lower violent-crime rate than most comparable Utah counties

At 13.2 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Utah County ranks 21 of 22 — above 1 of the 21 other Utah counties whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test and carries a matched Census denominator. That is -85.0% against the cohort median of 87.9. Counties that did not report, or that reported implausibly low totals, are excluded from this cohort rather than counted as low-crime.

Offense mix

Violent offenses make up an unusually large share of the reported mix

Violent offenses are 29.5% of the 295 Part I offenses reported in Utah County for 2024, against a median of 21.3% across comparable Utah counties — a gap of 8.2 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.

2021–2024 direction

The reported violent-crime rate ended the window higher

Across 4 comparable reporting years, the rate moved from 12.9 per 100,000 in 2021 to 13.2 in 2024 (+2.4%). The highest observed value was 13.2 in 2024 and the lowest 11.4 in 2022. Years whose submission failed the completeness test are left out of this comparison rather than plotted as change.

On a very 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.
