Based on 2 reported violent incidents in a population of 1,494. 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.
What the 2024 FBI UCR record shows for Grapeland, TX
Small-count caution
The violent-crime count is small enough that the derived rate is unstable
Grapeland reported 2 violent offences in 2024 against a population of 1,494. 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.
Comparable rate records
Grapeland's closest reported-rate comparisons are in the Texas cohort
The nearest comparable 2024 records to Grapeland's 133.9 violent-crime rate per 100,000 are Kerens (134.0), Little Elm (133.7), Hidalgo (134.1), Jarrell (133.6). 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.
Property-offense composition
Burglary and vehicle theft carry more of the property total than they do across the cohort
Larceny-theft is 33.3% of reported property offenses in Grapeland, against a cohort median of 71.6%. The remainder is burglary (3) and motor vehicle theft (1). 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 25.0% of the 8 Part I offenses reported in Grapeland for 2024, against a median of 14.3% across comparable Texas cities — a gap of 10.7 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
Grapeland sits mid-pack among comparable Texas cities
At 133.9 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Grapeland ranks 440 of 686 — above 246 of the 685 other Texas cities whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test. That is -25.6% 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.
Property counts dominate Grapeland'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.
Based on 2 reported violent incidents in a population of 1,494. 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.
On a small municipal row, small denominators make rates sensitive to a handful of incidents. Figures are reported totals, not neighbourhood advice.
