What the 2024 FBI UCR record shows for Cedar Park, TX
Comparable rate records
Cedar Park's closest reported-rate comparisons are in the Texas cohort
The nearest comparable 2024 records to Cedar Park's 95.7 violent-crime rate per 100,000 are Smithville (95.6), Pearland (95.9), Iowa Colony (96.5), West Lake Hills (96.7). 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.
Position in the state cohort
Cedar Park sits mid-pack among comparable Texas cities
At 95.7 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Cedar Park ranks 513 of 686 — above 173 of the 685 other Texas cities whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test. That is -46.8% 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.
Offense mix
The reported mix leans further toward property offenses than the state cohort
Violent offenses are 7.4% of the 1,001 Part I offenses reported in Cedar Park for 2024, against a median of 14.4% across comparable Texas cities — a gap of 7.0 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
Larceny-theft dominates the property total more than it does across the cohort
Larceny-theft is 85.9% of reported property offenses in Cedar Park, against a cohort median of 71.6%. The remainder is burglary (55) and motor vehicle theft (76). 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 114.9 per 100,000 in 2020 to 95.7 in 2024 (-16.8%). The highest observed value was 127.2 in 2021 and the lowest 95.7 in 2024. Years whose submission failed the completeness test are left out of this comparison rather than plotted as change.
Property counts dominate Cedar Park'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.
