What the 2024 FBI UCR record shows for Wyandotte County, KS
Position in the state cohort
Wyandotte County reported a lower violent-crime rate than most comparable Kansas counties
At 14.8 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Wyandotte County ranks 66 of 70 — above 4 of the 69 other Kansas counties whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test and carries a matched Census denominator. That is -81.4% against the cohort median of 79.4. 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
Wyandotte County reported 25 violent offences in 2024 against a population of 169,245. 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.
Offense mix
Violent offenses make up an unusually large share of the reported mix
Violent offenses are 36.2% of the 69 Part I offenses reported in Wyandotte County for 2024, against a median of 25.0% across comparable Kansas counties — a gap of 11.2 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 dominates the property total more than it does across the cohort
Larceny-theft is 84.1% of reported property offenses in Wyandotte County, against a cohort median of 62.4%. The remainder is burglary (2) and motor vehicle theft (5). Composition differences of this size usually track what kinds of places and property are present in a jurisdiction.
2020–2024 direction
The reported violent-crime rate ended the window lower
Across 4 comparable reporting years, the rate moved from 17.7 per 100,000 in 2020 to 14.8 in 2024 (-16.7%). The highest observed value was 38.4 in 2022 and the lowest 14.8 in 2024. Years whose submission failed the completeness test are left out of this comparison rather than plotted as change.
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.
