What the 2024 FBI UCR record shows for Pflugerville, TX
Comparable rate records
Pflugerville's closest reported-rate comparisons are in the Texas cohort
The nearest comparable 2024 records to Pflugerville's 194.7 violent-crime rate per 100,000 are Bangs (194.3), Crowley (195.2), Mount Enterprise (195.3), Mount Vernon (193.9). 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 higher
Across 5 comparable reporting years, the rate moved from 139.1 per 100,000 in 2020 to 194.7 in 2024 (+39.9%). The highest observed value was 194.7 in 2024 and the lowest 139.1 in 2020. Years whose submission failed the completeness test are left out of this comparison rather than plotted as change.
Property-offense composition
Larceny-theft dominates the property total more than it does across the cohort
Larceny-theft is 81.2% of reported property offenses in Pflugerville, against a cohort median of 71.6%. The remainder is burglary (82) and motor vehicle theft (116). Composition differences of this size usually track what kinds of places and property are present in a jurisdiction.
Offense mix
The reported mix leans further toward property offenses than the state cohort
Violent offenses are 10.8% of the 1,180 Part I offenses reported in Pflugerville for 2024, against a median of 14.4% across comparable Texas cities — a gap of 3.6 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.
Position in the state cohort
Pflugerville sits mid-pack among comparable Texas cities
At 194.7 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Pflugerville ranks 316 of 686 — above 370 of the 685 other Texas cities whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test. That is +8.8% 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.
Property counts dominate Pflugerville'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.
On a large city row, these are citywide reported offense totals - not neighbourhood advice. Conditions vary by place and time; reporting rates differ across jurisdictions.
