What the 2024 FBI UCR record shows for Crandall, TX
2020–2024 direction
The reported violent-crime rate ended the window higher
Across 5 comparable reporting years, the rate moved from 458.2 per 100,000 in 2020 to 922.5 in 2024 (+101.3%). The highest observed value was 1345.5 in 2023 and the lowest 458.2 in 2020. Years whose submission failed the completeness test are left out of this comparison rather than plotted as change.
Position in the state cohort
Crandall reported a higher violent-crime rate than most comparable Texas cities
At 922.5 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Crandall ranks 10 of 686 — above 676 of the 685 other Texas cities whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test. That is +415.5% against the cohort median of 178.9. Cities that did not report, or that reported implausibly low totals, are excluded from this cohort rather than counted as low-crime.
Comparable rate records
Crandall's closest reported-rate comparisons are in the Texas cohort
The nearest comparable 2024 records to Crandall's 922.5 violent-crime rate per 100,000 are Alamo (897.1), Raymondville (881.2), Snyder (873.4), Corpus Christi (863.6). 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.
Property-offense composition
Burglary and vehicle theft carry more of the property total than they do across the cohort
Larceny-theft is 45.9% of reported property offenses in Crandall, against a cohort median of 71.6%. The remainder is burglary (68) and motor vehicle theft (25). Composition differences of this size usually track what kinds of places and property are present in a jurisdiction.
Offense mix
Violent offenses make up an unusually large share of the reported mix
Violent offenses are 22.5% of the 222 Part I offenses reported in Crandall for 2024, against a median of 14.3% across comparable Texas cities — a gap of 8.2 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.
Property counts dominate Crandall'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.
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.
