What the 2024 FBI UCR record shows for Winnebago County, WI
Position in the state cohort
Winnebago County reported a lower violent-crime rate than most comparable Wisconsin counties
At 15.1 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Winnebago County ranks 61 of 64 — above 3 of the 63 other Wisconsin counties whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test and carries a matched Census denominator. That is -69.7% against the cohort median of 49.9. Counties that did not report, or that reported implausibly low totals, are excluded from this cohort rather than counted as low-crime.
Small-count caution
The violent-crime count is small enough that the derived rate is unstable
Winnebago County reported 26 violent offences in 2024 against a population of 171,730. At this volume one additional or one fewer report moves the per-100,000 rate noticeably, so the figure is better read as a data point than as a precise measurement, and year-to-year swings here are expected.
2020–2024 direction
The reported violent-crime rate ended the window higher
Across 4 comparable reporting years, the rate moved from 11.6 per 100,000 in 2020 to 15.1 in 2024 (+30.0%). The highest observed value was 15.1 in 2024 and the lowest 11.6 in 2020. Years whose submission failed the completeness test are left out of this comparison rather than plotted as change.
Property-offense composition
Burglary and vehicle theft carry more of the property total than they do across the cohort
Larceny-theft is 60.4% of reported property offenses in Winnebago County, against a cohort median of 73.9%. The remainder is burglary (31) and motor vehicle theft (9). Composition differences of this size usually track what kinds of places and property are present in a jurisdiction.
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.

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.
