Small-count caution
Memorial Villages reported 1 violent offences in 2024 against a population of 11,170. 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.
2020–2024 direction
Across 5 comparable reporting years, the rate moved from 24.2 per 100,000 in 2020 to 9.0 in 2024 (-63.1%). The highest observed value was 36.4 in 2022 and the lowest 8.2 in 2021. Years whose submission failed the completeness test are left out of this comparison rather than plotted as change.
Comparable rate records
The nearest comparable 2024 records to Memorial Villages's 9.0 violent-crime rate per 100,000 are Trophy Club (14.7), Alma (0.0), Anson (0.0), Anton (0.0). 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.
Position in the state cohort
At 9.0 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Memorial Villages ranks 614 of 686 — above 72 of the 685 other Texas cities whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test. That is -95.0% 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.
Offense mix
Violent offenses are 1.8% of the 56 Part I offenses reported in Memorial Villages for 2024, against a median of 14.4% across comparable Texas cities — a gap of 12.6 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 Memorial Villages'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 1 reported violent incidents in a population of 11,170. 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.
Mid-size municipal totals above are reported offenses, not safety advice for any single block. Reporting completeness still varies by year and agency.
Memorial Villages's 2024 book concentrates in larceny-theft (66% of 56 offenses; mix index 4,911).
Violent offenses are only 2% of the municipal total - a property-led book.
