Offense mix
Violent offenses are 67.2% of the 58 Part I offenses reported in West Feliciana County for 2024, against a median of 22.4% across comparable Louisiana counties — a gap of 44.9 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.
Property-offense composition
Larceny-theft is 42.1% of reported property offenses in West Feliciana County, against a cohort median of 67.2%. The remainder is burglary (5) and motor vehicle theft (6). Composition differences of this size usually track what kinds of places and property are present in a jurisdiction.
2021–2024 direction
Across 3 comparable reporting years, the rate moved from 346.2 per 100,000 in 2021 to 254.7 in 2024 (-26.4%). The highest observed value was 346.2 in 2021 and the lowest 235.1 in 2023. Years whose submission failed the completeness test are left out of this comparison rather than plotted as change.
Position in the state cohort
At 254.7 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, West Feliciana County ranks 24 of 52 — above 28 of the 51 other Louisiana counties whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test and carries a matched Census denominator. That is +7.8% against the cohort median of 236.4. Counties that did not report, or that reported implausibly low totals, are excluded from this cohort rather than counted as low-crime.
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.
