The verdict
Chandler earns an A safety grade: violent crime runs 77% below the U.S. average, placing it safer than most U.S. cities.
Based on 3 reported violent incidents in a population of 3,747. At this volume, one additional or one fewer report can shift the rate and letter grade noticeably; small-city crime counts are inherently more volatile year to year than large-city counts, so treat this grade as a data point, not a precise ranking.
Small-count caution
Chandler reported 3 violent offences in 2024 against a population of 3,747. At this volume one additional or one fewer report moves the per-100,000 rate noticeably, so the figure is better read as a data point than as a precise measurement, and year-to-year swings here are expected.
Comparable rate records
The nearest comparable 2024 records to Chandler's 80.1 violent-crime rate per 100,000 are White Oak (80.4), Rice (80.8), Shavano Park (79.2), Tye (81.2). 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
At 80.1 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Chandler ranks 531 of 686 — above 155 of the 685 other Texas cities whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test. That is -55.5% 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.
Property-offense composition
Larceny-theft is 100.0% of reported property offenses in Chandler, against a cohort median of 71.6%. The remainder is burglary (0) and motor vehicle theft (0). Composition differences of this size usually track what kinds of places and property are present in a jurisdiction.
2020–2024 direction
Across 5 comparable reporting years, the rate moved from 61.9 per 100,000 in 2020 to 80.1 in 2024 (+29.4%). The highest observed value was 80.1 in 2024 and the lowest 28.0 in 2023. Years whose submission failed the completeness test are left out of this comparison rather than plotted as change.
Offense mix
Violent offenses are 21.4% of the 14 Part I offenses reported in Chandler for 2024, against a median of 14.3% across comparable Texas cities — a gap of 7.1 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 counts dominate Chandler'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.
Based on 3 reported violent incidents in a population of 3,747. At this volume, one additional or one fewer report can shift the rate and letter grade noticeably; small-city crime counts are inherently more volatile year to year than large-city counts, so treat this grade as a data point, not a precise ranking.
Small-city offense counts above are voluntary UCR submissions, not neighbourhood advice. Year-to-year swings can look large when the population base is modest.
