What the 2024 FBI UCR record shows for Livingston, CA
Comparable rate records
Livingston's closest reported-rate comparisons are in the California cohort
The nearest comparable 2024 records to Livingston's 372.0 violent-crime rate per 100,000 are Truckee (373.6), Upland (370.3), Norwalk (374.4), Chula Vista (375.8). 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
The reported violent-crime rate ended the window lower
Across 5 comparable reporting years, the rate moved from 423.4 per 100,000 in 2020 to 372.0 in 2024 (-12.2%). The highest observed value was 483.3 in 2022 and the lowest 218.2 in 2021. Years whose submission failed the completeness test are left out of this comparison rather than plotted as change.
Offense mix
Violent offenses make up an unusually large share of the reported mix
Violent offenses are 20.9% of the 263 Part I offenses reported in Livingston for 2024, against a median of 17.1% across comparable California cities — a gap of 3.8 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
Livingston sits mid-pack among comparable California cities
At 372.0 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Livingston ranks 207 of 458 — above 251 of the 457 other California cities whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test. That is +13.2% against the cohort median of 328.5. 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 Livingston'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.
Mid-size municipal totals above are reported offenses, not safety advice for any single block. Reporting completeness still varies by year and agency.
