What the 2024 FBI UCR record shows for Wexford County, MI
Position in the state cohort
Wexford County sits mid-pack among comparable Michigan counties
At 103.9 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Wexford County ranks 23 of 67 — above 44 of the 66 other Michigan counties whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test and carries a matched Census denominator. That is +35.6% against the cohort median of 76.6. 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 dominates the property total more than it does across the cohort
Larceny-theft is 84.4% of reported property offenses in Wexford County, against a cohort median of 72.6%. The remainder is burglary (12) and motor vehicle theft (8). Composition differences of this size usually track what kinds of places and property are present in a jurisdiction.
Offense mix
The reported mix leans further toward property offenses than the state cohort
Violent offenses are 21.5% of the 163 Part I offenses reported in Wexford County for 2024, against a median of 24.5% across comparable Michigan counties — a gap of 3.1 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.
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.
