What the 2024 FBI UCR record shows for Antioch, CA
Comparable rate records
Antioch's closest reported-rate comparisons are in the California cohort
The nearest comparable 2024 records to Antioch's 606.8 violent-crime rate per 100,000 are San Jose (606.8), East Palo Alto (607.3), Yucca Valley (605.6), Palm Springs (603.4). 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
Antioch reported a higher violent-crime rate than most comparable California cities
At 606.8 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Antioch ranks 85 of 458 — above 373 of the 457 other California cities whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test. That is +84.7% 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.
Property-offense composition
Burglary and vehicle theft carry more of the property total than they do across the cohort
Larceny-theft is 42.7% of reported property offenses in Antioch, against a cohort median of 69.5%. The remainder is burglary (549) and motor vehicle theft (1,605). Composition differences of this size usually track what kinds of places and property are present in a jurisdiction.
2020–2024 direction
The reported violent-crime rate ended the window higher
Across 5 comparable reporting years, the rate moved from 525.4 per 100,000 in 2020 to 606.8 in 2024 (+15.5%). The highest observed value was 621.0 in 2022 and the lowest 48.0 in 2021. Years whose submission failed the completeness test are left out of this comparison rather than plotted as change.
Property counts dominate Antioch'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.
On a large city row, these are citywide reported offense totals - not neighbourhood advice. Conditions vary by place and time; reporting rates differ across jurisdictions.
