NIBRS is the FBI's National Incident-Based Reporting System, collecting detailed crime data from law enforcement agencies. Incidents is the number of crimes reported in a quarter. Crime rates are calculated per 100,000 people using Participated Population, the population covered by agencies reporting NIBRS data.

County level data aggregates NIBRS reports from tracked law enforcement agencies only (see list above). It may not cover all agencies in the county.
