Warren County, VA reported 88 violent crimes per 100,000 in FBI UCR 2024
According to the FBI Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Program for 2024, Warren County, VA agencies reported 36 violent and 200 property offenses. That equals about 88 violent and 491 property crimes per 100,000 using a verified Census population join. Table 10 coverage is a voluntary subset of U.S. counties.
2020–2024 direction
Across 5 comparable reporting years, the rate moved from 46.7 per 100,000 in 2020 to 88.4 in 2024 (+89.5%). The highest observed value was 88.4 in 2024 and the lowest 46.7 in 2020. Years whose submission failed the completeness test are left out of this comparison rather than plotted as change.
Position in the state cohort
At 88.4 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Warren County ranks 74 of 94 — above 20 of the 93 other Virginia counties whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test and carries a matched Census denominator. That is -30.9% against the cohort median of 128.0. Counties that did not report, or that reported implausibly low totals, are excluded from this cohort rather than counted as low-crime.
Property-offense composition
Larceny-theft is 86.5% of reported property offenses in Warren County, against a cohort median of 78.2%. The remainder is burglary (8) and motor vehicle theft (19). Composition differences of this size usually track what kinds of places and property are present in a jurisdiction.
Mid-size county rows still aggregate voluntary UCR submissions. Per-100,000 rates need a matched 2020 Census population; unmatched stay count-only. County-wide totals rarely describe any single town inside the line.

FBI Table 10 supplies county offense counts but no resident population. Where this page shows a per-100,000 rate, the denominator is a separately matched 2020 U.S. Census Bureau county population; unmatched county rows remain count-only. Statewide comparisons draw on the state UCR program. Verify with FBI.gov UCR and Census.gov QuickFacts.
