According to the FBI Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Program for 2024, Anna, TX shows violent crime at 165.4 per 100,000 residents and property crime at 705.1 per 100,000.

Figures are voluntary agency submissions joined to population denominators; incomplete coverage can move the number.
2020–2024 direction
Across 5 comparable reporting years, the rate moved from 87.3 per 100,000 in 2020 to 165.4 in 2024 (+89.4%). The highest observed value was 230.6 in 2021 and the lowest 87.3 in 2020. Years whose submission failed the completeness test are left out of this comparison rather than plotted as change.
Comparable rate records
The nearest comparable 2024 records to Anna's 165.4 violent-crime rate per 100,000 are Merkel (165.3), Linden (165.7), Somerset (164.7), Sulphur Springs (166.9). 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.
Offense mix
Violent offenses are 19.0% of the 279 Part I offenses reported in Anna for 2024, against a median of 14.3% across comparable Texas cities — a gap of 4.7 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.
Position in the state cohort
At 165.4 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Anna ranks 369 of 686 — above 317 of the 685 other Texas cities whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test. That is -8.1% against the cohort median of 179.9. Cities that did not report, or that reported implausibly low totals, are excluded from this cohort rather than counted as low-crime.
Property counts dominate Anna'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.
