What the 2024 FBI UCR record shows for Crowley, TX
Comparable rate records
Crowley's closest reported-rate comparisons are in the Texas cohort

They make the cohort position above checkable against named records instead of a generic state average.
2020–2024 direction
The reported violent-crime rate ended the window lower
Across 5 comparable reporting years, the rate moved from 278.0 per 100,000 in 2020 to 195.2 in 2024 (-29.8%). The highest observed value was 278.0 in 2020 and the lowest 195.2 in 2024. Years whose submission failed the completeness test are left out of this comparison rather than plotted as change.
Position in the state cohort
Crowley sits mid-pack among comparable Texas cities
At 195.2 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Crowley ranks 315 of 686 — above 371 of the 685 other Texas cities whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test. That is +9.1% 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.
Property counts dominate Crowley'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.
