What the 2024 FBI UCR record shows for Georgetown, TX
Comparable rate records
Georgetown'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 higher
Across 5 comparable reporting years, the rate moved from 148.4 per 100,000 in 2020 to 191.1 in 2024 (+28.7%). The highest observed value was 191.1 in 2024 and the lowest 126.9 in 2021. Years whose submission failed the completeness test are left out of this comparison rather than plotted as change.
Position in the state cohort
Georgetown sits mid-pack among comparable Texas cities
At 191.1 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Georgetown ranks 324 of 686 — above 362 of the 685 other Texas cities whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test. That is +6.8% 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.
Property counts dominate Georgetown'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.
On a large city row, these are citywide reported offense totals - not neighbourhood advice. Conditions vary by place and time; reporting rates differ across jurisdictions.
