Across 5 comparable reporting years, the rate moved from 191.6 per 100,000 in 2020 to 243.5 in 2024 (+27.1%). The highest observed value was 326.5 in 2022 and the lowest 191.6 in 2020. Years whose submission failed the completeness test are left out of this comparison rather than plotted as change.

Property-offense composition
Larceny-theft is 83.4% of reported property offenses in Conroe, against a cohort median of 71.6%. The remainder is burglary (161) and motor vehicle theft (150). Composition differences of this size usually track what kinds of places and property are present in a jurisdiction.
