What the 2024 FBI UCR record shows for Fillmore, CA
Comparable rate records
Fillmore's closest reported-rate comparisons are in the California cohort
The nearest comparable 2024 records to Fillmore's 189.4 violent-crime rate per 100,000 are Carpinteria (189.1), Elk Grove (189.9), Rancho Mirage (188.3), Davis (186.3). 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.
Position in the state cohort
Fillmore sits mid-pack among comparable California cities
At 189.4 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Fillmore ranks 340 of 458 — above 118 of the 457 other California cities whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test. That is -43.2% against the cohort median of 333.1. 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 dominates the property total more than it does across the cohort
Larceny-theft is 82.8% of reported property offenses in Fillmore, against a cohort median of 69.5%. The remainder is burglary (10) and motor vehicle theft (10). 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 22.1% of the 149 Part I offenses reported in Fillmore for 2024, against a median of 17.1% across comparable California cities — a gap of 5.0 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.
2020–2024 direction
The reported violent-crime rate ended the window lower
Across 4 comparable reporting years, the rate moved from 194.1 per 100,000 in 2020 to 189.4 in 2024 (-2.5%). The highest observed value was 194.1 in 2020 and the lowest 90.5 in 2022. Years whose submission failed the completeness test are left out of this comparison rather than plotted as change.
Property counts dominate Fillmore'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.
