Position in the state cohort
Williamsburg County sits mid-pack among comparable South Carolina counties
At 402.9 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Williamsburg County ranks 13 of 43 — above 30 of the 42 other South Carolina counties whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test and carries a matched Census denominator. That is +62.7% against the cohort median of 247.7. Counties that did not report, or that reported implausibly low totals, are excluded from this cohort rather than counted as low-crime.
2021–2024 direction
The reported violent-crime rate ended the window close to where it started
Across 4 comparable reporting years, the rate moved from 406.1 per 100,000 in 2021 to 402.9 in 2024 (-0.8%). The highest observed value was 564.0 in 2023 and the lowest 322.3 in 2022. Years whose submission failed the completeness test are left out of this comparison rather than plotted as change.
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.
County Table 10 totals are voluntary agency filings: incomplete coverage is not a county crime measure, and a countywide figure is not a neighbourhood verdict.
