What the 2024 FBI UCR record shows for Chino Hills, CA
Comparable rate records
Chino Hills's closest reported-rate comparisons are in the California cohort
The nearest comparable 2024 records to Chino Hills's 138.0 violent-crime rate per 100,000 are Albany (138.8), Aliso Viejo (134.9), Poway (133.9), Benicia (133.6). 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
Chino Hills reported a lower violent-crime rate than most comparable California cities
At 138.0 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Chino Hills ranks 391 of 458 — above 67 of the 457 other California cities whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test. That is -58.6% 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 12.4% of the 855 Part I offenses reported in Chino Hills for 2024, against a median of 17.1% across comparable California cities — a gap of 4.7 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 higher
Across 4 comparable reporting years, the rate moved from 131.9 per 100,000 in 2020 to 138.0 in 2024 (+4.6%). The highest observed value was 161.2 in 2022 and the lowest 77.2 in 2023. Years whose submission failed the completeness test are left out of this comparison rather than plotted as change.
Property counts dominate Chino Hills'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.
