What the 2024 FBI UCR record shows for Vermilion County, IL
Position in the state cohort
Vermilion County reported a higher violent-crime rate than most comparable Illinois counties
At 107.8 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Vermilion County ranks 3 of 77 — above 74 of the 76 other Illinois counties whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test and carries a matched Census denominator. That is +189.3% against the cohort median of 37.3. Counties that did not report, or that reported implausibly low totals, are excluded from this cohort rather than counted as low-crime.
2022–2024 direction
The reported violent-crime rate ended the window higher
Across 3 comparable reporting years, the rate moved from 84.9 per 100,000 in 2022 to 107.8 in 2024 (+27.0%). The highest observed value was 128.1 in 2023 and the lowest 84.9 in 2022. Years whose submission failed the completeness test are left out of this comparison rather than plotted as change.
Offense mix
The reported mix leans further toward property offenses than the state cohort
Violent offenses are 16.7% of the 480 Part I offenses reported in Vermilion County for 2024, against a median of 20.3% across comparable Illinois counties — a gap of 3.6 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.
