Property-offense composition
Larceny-theft is 84.4% of reported property offenses in Healdsburg, against a cohort median of 69.5%. The remainder is burglary (18) and motor vehicle theft (6). Composition differences of this size usually track what kinds of places and property are present in a jurisdiction.
Offense mix
Violent offenses are 20.2% of the 193 Part I offenses reported in Healdsburg for 2024, against a median of 17.1% across comparable California cities — a gap of 3.1 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.
