Haskell, TX is safer than most U.S. cities, and earns an A PlainCrime safety grade, where violent crime runs 81% below the U.S. average
According to the FBI Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Program for 2024, Haskell, TX shows violent crime at 65.7 per 100,000 residents and property crime at 460.1 per 100,000. Violent crime runs 81% below the U.S. average. PlainCrime assigns grade A from those rates. Figures are voluntary agency submissions joined to population denominators; incomplete coverage can move the number.

What the 2024 FBI UCR record shows for Haskell, TX
Small-count caution
The violent-crime count is small enough that the derived rate is unstable
Haskell reported 2 violent offences in 2024 against a population of 3,043. 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
Haskell's closest reported-rate comparisons are in the Texas cohort
The nearest comparable 2024 records to Haskell's 65.7 violent-crime rate per 100,000 are Wylie (65.9), Meadows Place (66.0), La Vernia (65.2), Hughes Springs (64.9). 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
Haskell reported a lower violent-crime rate than most comparable Texas cities
At 65.7 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Haskell ranks 555 of 686 — above 131 of the 685 other Texas cities whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test. That is -63.5% 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-offense composition
Burglary and vehicle theft carry more of the property total than they do across the cohort
Larceny-theft is 50.0% of reported property offenses in Haskell, against a cohort median of 71.6%. The remainder is burglary (0) and motor vehicle theft (7). Composition differences of this size usually track what kinds of places and property are present in a jurisdiction.
2020–2024 direction
The reported violent-crime rate ended the window higher
Across 5 comparable reporting years, the rate moved from 63.8 per 100,000 in 2020 to 65.7 in 2024 (+3.1%). The highest observed value was 125.2 in 2021 and the lowest 32.7 in 2023. Years whose submission failed the completeness test are left out of this comparison rather than plotted as change.
Property counts dominate Haskell'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 3,043. 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.
Small-city offense counts above are voluntary UCR submissions, not neighbourhood advice. Year-to-year swings can look large when the population base is modest.
Haskell's 2024 municipal footprint
Across 3.6 Census sq mi, Haskell logged 3.9 property and 0.6 violent offenses per square mile in 2024.
Haskell leans on larceny-theft at 44% of reported offenses, with a moderate mix index of 3,906.
Violent offenses are only 13% of the municipal total - a property-led book.
Density uses Census Gazetteer land area (3.6 sq mi); mix index is HHI x 10,000 on the offense-type shares above. Distinct from the per-100K rates in the hero.

Haskell Police Department
Reporting agency for Haskell NIBRS-participating
Haskell Police Department filed the 2024 UCR row behind Haskell's 16 reported offenses (5-year span 2020-2024).
This agency reports via NIBRS, the incident-based system that captures more detail per offense (multiple crimes per incident, victim/offender data) than the older summary counts.
Similar-Size Cities in Texas
Crime rates read differently at different scales, so these are the Texas cities closest to Haskell in population. Their populations run from 3,002 to 3,083, against 3,043 here. Or use our

In 2024, Haskell reported 2 violent crimes and 14 property crimes, for a total of 16 reported offenses.
Is crime increasing or decreasing in Haskell?
From 2023 to 2024, Haskell's violent crime rate increased by 100.9%, and the property crime rate decreased by 21.8%.
What is the most common crime in Haskell?
The most common crime type in Haskell is larceny-theft, accounting for 43.8% of all reported crimes (7 incidents in 2024).
Small-city read: Haskell is sourced from FBI UCR Table 8 for 2024; rates use that row's population.
Small-city rows use the same per-100,000 formula; a few unreported years can leave gaps in the trend table. Verify the agency's submission on FBI.gov UCR.
