Comparable rate records
The nearest comparable 2024 records to Eagle Pass's 151.8 violent-crime rate per 100,000 are Rowlett (151.9), Plano (151.6), Stanton (151.0), Kermit (153.6). 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 7.4% of the 578 Part I offenses reported in Eagle Pass for 2024, against a median of 14.4% across comparable Texas cities — a gap of 6.9 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 151.8 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Eagle Pass ranks 394 of 686 — above 292 of the 685 other Texas cities whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test. That is -15.6% against the cohort median of 179.9. Cities that did not report, or that reported implausibly low totals, are excluded from this cohort rather than counted as low-crime.
2020–2024 direction
Across 5 comparable reporting years, the rate moved from 143.2 per 100,000 in 2020 to 151.8 in 2024 (+6.0%). The highest observed value was 229.1 in 2022 and the lowest 143.2 in 2020. Years whose submission failed the completeness test are left out of this comparison rather than plotted as change.
Property counts dominate Eagle Pass'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.
