What the 2024 FBI UCR record shows for Corcoran, CA
Comparable rate records
Corcoran's closest reported-rate comparisons are in the California cohort
The nearest comparable 2024 records to Corcoran's 522.2 violent-crime rate per 100,000 are Salinas (524.5), Hesperia (519.6), South Gate (525.6), Apple Valley (516.3). 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
Violent offenses make up an unusually large share of the reported mix
Violent offenses are 33.9% of the 336 Part I offenses reported in Corcoran for 2024, against a median of 17.1% across comparable California cities — a gap of 16.8 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.
Position in the state cohort
Corcoran reported a higher violent-crime rate than most comparable California cities
At 522.2 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Corcoran ranks 115 of 458 — above 343 of the 457 other California cities whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test. That is +59.0% against the cohort median of 328.5. 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
Burglary and vehicle theft carry more of the property total than they do across the cohort
Larceny-theft is 57.2% of reported property offenses in Corcoran, against a cohort median of 69.5%. The remainder is burglary (62) and motor vehicle theft (33). 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 close to where it started
Across 5 comparable reporting years, the rate moved from 516.1 per 100,000 in 2020 to 522.2 in 2024 (+1.2%). The highest observed value was 567.6 in 2023 and the lowest 274.1 in 2021. Years whose submission failed the completeness test are left out of this comparison rather than plotted as change.
Property counts dominate Corcoran'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.
Mid-size municipal totals above are reported offenses, not safety advice for any single block. Reporting completeness still varies by year and agency.
