The verdict
Crosbyton earns an F safety grade: violent crime runs 121% above the U.S. average, placing it among the highest-crime cities in the country.
Based on 11 reported violent incidents in a population of 1,417. 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.
2020–2024 direction
Across 5 comparable reporting years, the rate moved from 62.5 per 100,000 in 2020 to 776.3 in 2024 (+1141.3%). The highest observed value was 776.3 in 2024 and the lowest 0.0 in 2021. Years whose submission failed the completeness test are left out of this comparison rather than plotted as change.
Small-count caution
Crosbyton reported 11 violent offences in 2024 against a population of 1,417. 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.
Offense mix
Violent offenses are 44.0% of the 25 Part I offenses reported in Crosbyton for 2024, against a median of 14.3% across comparable Texas cities — a gap of 29.7 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.
Position in the state cohort
At 776.3 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Crosbyton ranks 23 of 686 — above 663 of the 685 other Texas cities whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test. That is +333.8% 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
The nearest comparable 2024 records to Crosbyton's 776.3 violent-crime rate per 100,000 are Corrigan (773.0), Navasota (785.1), Big Spring (762.4), Los Fresnos (793.9). 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.
Crosbyton's FBI UCR Table 8 municipal row keeps violent and property totals in a closer balance. Per-100,000 rates use the reporting-year population on that row; incomplete reporters stay out of rate rankings. A citywide figure rarely describes any single neighbourhood inside the municipal boundary.
