According to the FBI Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Program for 2024, Jersey Village, TX shows violent crime at 145.5 per 100,000 residents and property crime at 3,294.1 per 100,000.

Figures are voluntary agency submissions joined to population denominators; incomplete coverage can move the number.
Small-count caution
Jersey Village reported 11 violent offences in 2024 against a population of 7,559. 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 Jersey Village's 145.5 violent-crime rate per 100,000 are Rockwall (146.1), Sabinal (144.8), Huntington (144.5), Godley (146.5). 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.
2020–2024 direction
Across 5 comparable reporting years, the rate moved from 214.6 per 100,000 in 2020 to 145.5 in 2024 (-32.2%). The highest observed value was 382.8 in 2022 and the lowest 145.5 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 4.2% of the 260 Part I offenses reported in Jersey Village for 2024, against a median of 14.4% across comparable Texas cities — a gap of 10.1 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.
Position in the state cohort
At 145.5 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Jersey Village ranks 408 of 686 — above 278 of the 685 other Texas cities whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test. That is -19.1% 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 counts dominate Jersey Village'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 11 reported violent incidents in a population of 7,559. 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.
