Small-count caution
Angels Camp reported 24 violent offences in 2024 against a population of 3,781. 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.

The nearest comparable 2024 records to Angels Camp's 634.8 violent-crime rate per 100,000 are Greenfield (631.2), Berkeley (638.8), Malibu (639.5), Rialto (641.7). These are same-year agency submissions that pass the same completeness screen, not a claim that the cities have identical conditions. They make the cohort position above checkable against named records instead of a generic state average.
Position in the state cohort
At 634.8 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Angels Camp ranks 76 of 458 — above 382 of the 457 other California cities whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test. That is +93.2% against the cohort median of 328.5. Cities that did not report, or that reported implausibly low totals, are excluded from this cohort rather than counted as low-crime.
Offense mix
Violent offenses are 29.3% of the 82 Part I offenses reported in Angels Camp for 2024, against a median of 17.1% across comparable California cities — a gap of 12.2 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 is 84.5% of reported property offenses in Angels Camp, against a cohort median of 69.5%. The remainder is burglary (4) and motor vehicle theft (5). Composition differences of this size usually track what kinds of places and property are present in a jurisdiction.
Property counts dominate Angels Camp's FBI UCR Table 8 municipal row. Per-100,000 rates use the reporting-year population on that row; cities that fail the completeness test stay out of rate rankings. A citywide figure rarely describes any single neighbourhood inside the municipal boundary.
Based on 24 reported violent incidents in a population of 3,781. At this volume, one additional or one fewer report can shift the rate and letter grade noticeably; small-city crime counts are inherently more volatile year to year than large-city counts, so treat this grade as a data point, not a precise ranking.
Small-city offense counts above are voluntary UCR submissions, not neighbourhood advice. Year-to-year swings can look large when the population base is modest.
Angels Camp's 2024 book concentrates in larceny-theft (60% of 82 offenses; mix index 4,250).
