What the 2024 FBI UCR record shows for Calabasas, CA
Comparable rate records
Calabasas's closest reported-rate comparisons are in the California cohort
The nearest comparable 2024 records to Calabasas's 159.8 violent-crime rate per 100,000 are Riverbank (163.7), Bear Valley (164.6), San Juan Capistrano (164.6), Belmont (164.8). 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
Calabasas reported a lower violent-crime rate than most comparable California cities
At 159.8 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Calabasas ranks 376 of 458 — above 82 of the 457 other California cities whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test. That is -52.0% 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.
Offense mix
The reported mix leans further toward property offenses than the state cohort
Violent offenses are 10.9% of the 321 Part I offenses reported in Calabasas for 2024, against a median of 17.1% across comparable California cities — a gap of 6.2 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.
2020–2024 direction
The reported violent-crime rate ended the window lower
Across 4 comparable reporting years, the rate moved from 163.2 per 100,000 in 2020 to 159.8 in 2024 (-2.1%). The highest observed value was 180.5 in 2023 and the lowest 145.8 in 2022. Years whose submission failed the completeness test are left out of this comparison rather than plotted as change.
Property counts dominate Calabasas'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.
