Offense mix
Violent offenses are 22.7% of the 141 Part I offenses reported in Walla Walla County for 2024, against a median of 13.5% across comparable Washington counties — a gap of 9.2 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.
Position in the state cohort
At 51.1 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Walla Walla County ranks 22 of 35 — above 13 of the 34 other Washington counties whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test and carries a matched Census denominator. That is -20.9% against the cohort median of 64.6. Counties that did not report, or that reported implausibly low totals, are excluded from this cohort rather than counted as low-crime.
2020–2024 direction
Across 5 comparable reporting years, the rate moved from 59.1 per 100,000 in 2020 to 51.1 in 2024 (-13.5%). The highest observed value was 70.3 in 2021 and the lowest 51.1 in 2024. Years whose submission failed the completeness test are left out of this comparison rather than plotted as change.
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.
