What the 2024 FBI UCR record shows for Huntington Park, CA
Position in the state cohort
Huntington Park reported a higher violent-crime rate than most comparable California cities
At 691.4 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Huntington Park ranks 59 of 458 — above 399 of the 457 other California cities whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test.

Comparable rate records
Huntington Park's closest reported-rate comparisons are in the California cohort

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 51.6% of reported property offenses in Huntington Park, against a cohort median of 69.5%. The remainder is burglary (228) and motor vehicle theft (543). Composition differences of this size usually track what kinds of places and property are present in a jurisdiction.
2020–2024 direction
