This page provides a preliminary comparison of reported crime in Owensville, Clermont County, and Ohio using published 2025 figures.
Important data notice: The figures below are drawn from secondary publications that attribute their information to FBI crime data. They have not been independently verified against the FBI’s downloadable records or certified by the Owensville Police Department. Reporting coverage and population definitions differ. These figures should not be treated as a definitive safety ranking.
2025 Reported Crime
| Area | Violent crimes | Property crimes | Violent crime rate | Property crime rate |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Owensville | 2 | 4 | 242.7 | 485.4 |
| Clermont County reporting agencies* | 188 | 1,885 | Not verified | Not verified |
| Ohio | 32,060 | 163,774 | 287.9 | 1,470.8 |
*The county figures cover nine agencies reported as submitting all twelve months of 2025 data. They are not a verified total for every jurisdiction in Clermont County and do not exclude Owensville.
Understanding the Comparison
Using the published figures above, Owensville’s reported violent crime rate was approximately 16% below the Ohio rate, and its reported property crime rate was approximately 67% below the Ohio rate. These calculations are preliminary and depend on the accuracy and comparability of the underlying data.
Owensville’s small population makes annual rates sensitive to individual incidents. The published local rates imply a population of approximately 824 residents; one additional offense changes the rate by roughly 121 per 100,000. A change of only one or two offenses can therefore produce a large percentage difference.
County Coverage and Reporting Limitations
A comparable rate for the rest of Clermont County has not been established here. That calculation requires complete agency coverage, matching population figures, and county totals with Owensville subtracted. Sheriff’s Office statistics alone do not represent all crime reported throughout the county.
Reported crime statistics describe offenses recorded by participating law enforcement agencies. They do not capture every crime, and reporting practices, jurisdiction boundaries, submission completeness, and later revisions can affect comparisons. Counts of offenses are not the same as counts of arrests, convictions, or calls for service.
