What the 2024 FBI UCR record shows for Casa Grande, AZ
Comparable rate records
Casa Grande's closest reported-rate comparisons are in the Arizona cohort
The nearest comparable 2024 records to Casa Grande's 410.0 violent-crime rate per 100,000 are Willcox (407.0), Yuma (423.6), Apache Junction (426.3), Jerome (435.7). 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 lower
Across 5 comparable reporting years, the rate moved from 573.4 per 100,000 in 2020 to 410.0 in 2024 (-28.5%). The highest observed value was 589.2 in 2022 and the lowest 410.0 in 2024. Years whose submission failed the completeness test are left out of this comparison rather than plotted as change.
Position in the state cohort
Casa Grande sits mid-pack among comparable Arizona cities
At 410.0 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Casa Grande ranks 20 of 64 — above 44 of the 63 other Arizona cities whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test. That is +61.0% against the cohort median of 254.7. 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 1,305 Part I offenses reported in Casa Grande for 2024, against a median of 14.3% across comparable Arizona cities — a gap of 6.9 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-offense composition
Burglary and vehicle theft carry more of the property total than they do across the cohort
Larceny-theft is 67.0% of reported property offenses in Casa Grande, against a cohort median of 77.9%. The remainder is burglary (173) and motor vehicle theft (167). Composition differences of this size usually track what kinds of places and property are present in a jurisdiction.
Property counts dominate Casa Grande'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.
