2020–2024 direction
Across 5 comparable reporting years, the rate moved from 310.8 per 100,000 in 2020 to 571.2 in 2024 (+83.8%). The highest observed value was 571.2 in 2024 and the lowest 235.6 in 2021. Years whose submission failed the completeness test are left out of this comparison rather than plotted as change.
Position in the state cohort
At 571.2 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Ingleside ranks 43 of 686 — above 643 of the 685 other Texas cities whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test. That is +219.2% against the cohort median of 178.9. Cities that did not report, or that reported implausibly low totals, are excluded from this cohort rather than counted as low-crime.
Comparable rate records
The nearest comparable 2024 records to Ingleside's 571.2 violent-crime rate per 100,000 are Arcola (573.3), Lake Worth (566.6), Pasadena (566.1), Rose City (578.0). 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.
Offense mix
Violent offenses are 26.2% of the 225 Part I offenses reported in Ingleside for 2024, against a median of 14.3% across comparable Texas cities — a gap of 11.9 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 Ingleside'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.
