Figures are voluntary agency submissions joined to population denominators; incomplete coverage can move the number.
Small-count caution
Hutto reported 25 violent offences in 2024 against a population of 43,212. 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
The nearest comparable 2024 records to Hutto's 57.9 violent-crime rate per 100,000 are Fulshear (57.6), Gregory (58.1), Highland Park (57.4), Bullard (57.2). 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
At 57.9 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Hutto ranks 567 of 686 — above 119 of the 685 other Texas cities whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test. That is -67.8% 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.
2020–2024 direction
Across 5 comparable reporting years, the rate moved from 94.6 per 100,000 in 2020 to 57.9 in 2024 (-38.9%). The highest observed value was 118.0 in 2022 and the lowest 57.9 in 2024. Years whose submission failed the completeness test are left out of this comparison rather than plotted as change.
Offense mix
Violent offenses are 5.3% of the 472 Part I offenses reported in Hutto for 2024, against a median of 14.4% across comparable Texas cities — a gap of 9.1 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.
Property counts dominate Hutto'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 25 reported violent incidents in a population of 43,212. 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.
