At 41.6 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Wayne County ranks 7 of 39 — above 32 of the 38 other New York counties whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test and carries a matched Census denominator.

2024 reported record
Larceny-theft is the most reported offence in Wayne County
Of the 294 Part I offences Wayne County reported for 2024, 12.9% were violent. Aggravated assault leads the violent categories at 22, and larceny-theft leads the property categories at 196, against a population of 91,283. New York has too few counties with a comparable 2024 submission to place this record against an in-state cohort, so it is reported on its own terms.
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.
