What the 2024 FBI UCR record shows for Chino, CA
Comparable rate records
Chino's closest reported-rate comparisons are in the California cohort
The nearest comparable 2024 records to Chino's 299.5 violent-crime rate per 100,000 are Calistoga (299.7), Coachella (299.1), Redlands (298.6), South San Francisco (300.5). 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.
Offense mix
The reported mix leans further toward property offenses than the state cohort
Violent offenses are 11.9% of the 2,356 Part I offenses reported in Chino for 2024, against a median of 17.1% across comparable California cities — a gap of 5.2 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 5 comparable reporting years, the rate moved from 347.8 per 100,000 in 2020 to 299.5 in 2024 (-13.9%). The highest observed value was 347.8 in 2020 and the lowest 294.3 in 2021. Years whose submission failed the completeness test are left out of this comparison rather than plotted as change.
Position in the state cohort
Chino sits mid-pack among comparable California cities
At 299.5 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Chino ranks 252 of 458 — above 206 of the 457 other California cities whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test. That is -10.1% 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 counts dominate Chino'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.
