What the 2024 FBI UCR record shows for Beaumont, CA
Comparable rate records
Beaumont's closest reported-rate comparisons are in the California cohort
The nearest comparable 2024 records to Beaumont's 204.0 violent-crime rate per 100,000 are Indian Wells (204.5), Cotati (203.3), Goleta (205.3), Huntington Beach (207.3). 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
Beaumont sits mid-pack among comparable California cities
At 204.0 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Beaumont ranks 330 of 458 — above 128 of the 457 other California cities whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test. That is -38.8% against the cohort median of 333.1. 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
Larceny-theft dominates the property total more than it does across the cohort
Larceny-theft is 77.9% of reported property offenses in Beaumont, against a cohort median of 69.5%. The remainder is burglary (77) and motor vehicle theft (59). 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 lower
Across 5 comparable reporting years, the rate moved from 219.3 per 100,000 in 2020 to 204.0 in 2024 (-7.0%). The highest observed value was 442.4 in 2021 and the lowest 204.0 in 2024. Years whose submission failed the completeness test are left out of this comparison rather than plotted as change.
Property counts dominate Beaumont'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.
