What the 2024 FBI UCR record shows for Angleton, TX
Comparable rate records
Angleton's closest reported-rate comparisons are in the Texas cohort
The nearest comparable 2024 records to Angleton's 254.0 violent-crime rate per 100,000 are Kingsville (254.8), Mont Belvieu (253.1), Wolfforth (253.0), Pearsall (255.5). 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.
2020–2024 direction
The reported violent-crime rate ended the window higher
Across 5 comparable reporting years, the rate moved from 194.9 per 100,000 in 2020 to 254.0 in 2024 (+30.3%). The highest observed value was 316.4 in 2021 and the lowest 194.9 in 2020. Years whose submission failed the completeness test are left out of this comparison rather than plotted as change.
Position in the state cohort
Angleton sits mid-pack among comparable Texas cities
At 254.0 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Angleton ranks 239 of 686 — above 447 of the 685 other Texas cities whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test. That is +41.9% against the cohort median of 178.9. 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 make up an unusually large share of the reported mix
Violent offenses are 21.1% of the 247 Part I offenses reported in Angleton for 2024, against a median of 14.3% across comparable Texas cities — a gap of 6.8 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 counts dominate Angleton'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.
Mid-size municipal totals above are reported offenses, not safety advice for any single block. Reporting completeness still varies by year and agency.
