property crimes per 100K
Based on 14 reported violent incidents in a population of 2,227. 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.
What the 2024 FBI UCR record shows for Pinehurst, TX
Small-count caution
The violent-crime count is small enough that the derived rate is unstable
Pinehurst reported 14 violent offences in 2024 against a population of 2,227. 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.
Offense mix
Violent offenses make up an unusually large share of the reported mix
Violent offenses are 42.4% of the 33 Part I offenses reported in Pinehurst for 2024, against a median of 14.3% across comparable Texas cities — a gap of 28.1 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
Pinehurst reported a higher violent-crime rate than most comparable Texas cities
At 628.6 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Pinehurst ranks 34 of 686 — above 652 of the 685 other Texas cities whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test. That is +251.3% 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
Pinehurst's closest reported-rate comparisons are in the Texas cohort
The nearest comparable 2024 records to Pinehurst's 628.6 violent-crime rate per 100,000 are Schulenburg (635.6), Paris (620.9), Sudan (645.9), Carthage (604.6). 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 1171.7 per 100,000 in 2020 to 628.6 in 2024 (-46.3%). The highest observed value was 1171.7 in 2020 and the lowest 452.7 in 2022. Years whose submission failed the completeness test are left out of this comparison rather than plotted as change.
Property counts dominate Pinehurst'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 14 reported violent incidents in a population of 2,227. 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.
On a small municipal row, small denominators make rates sensitive to a handful of incidents. Figures are reported totals, not neighbourhood advice.
