Corrales, NM carries a PlainCrime B safety grade with violent crime 34% below the U.S. average
According to the FBI Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Program for 2024, Corrales, NM shows violent crime at 231.1 per 100,000 residents and property crime at 392.9 per 100,000. Violent crime runs 34% below the U.S. average. PlainCrime assigns grade B from those rates. Figures are voluntary agency submissions joined to population denominators; incomplete coverage can move the number.
2020–2024 direction
Across 5 comparable reporting years, the rate moved from 34.4 per 100,000 in 2020 to 231.1 in 2024 (+572.8%). The highest observed value was 231.1 in 2024 and the lowest 34.4 in 2020. Years whose submission failed the completeness test are left out of this comparison rather than plotted as change.
Small-count caution
Corrales reported 20 violent offences in 2024 against a population of 8,653. 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 Corrales's 231.1 violent-crime rate per 100,000 are Capitan (215.7), Milan (203.6), Santa Clara (187.7), Bosque Farms (146.6). 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.
Offense mix
Violent offenses are 37.0% of the 54 Part I offenses reported in Corrales for 2024, against a median of 21.5% across comparable New Mexico cities — a gap of 15.6 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
At 231.1 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Corrales ranks 32 of 43 — above 11 of the 42 other New Mexico cities whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test. That is -52.0% against the cohort median of 481.6. 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 52.9% of reported property offenses in Corrales, against a cohort median of 65.6%. The remainder is burglary (10) and motor vehicle theft (6). Composition differences of this size usually track what kinds of places and property are present in a jurisdiction.
Property counts dominate Corrales'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 20 reported violent incidents in a population of 8,653. 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.
Across 10.8 Census sq mi, Corrales logged 3.2 property and 1.9 violent offenses per square mile in 2024.
Corrales's 7 active offense types stay diversified (mix index 2,311); larceny-theft still leads at 33%.
