According to the FBI Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Program for 2024, Rohnert Park, CA shows violent crime at 258 per 100,000 residents and property crime at 1,263.1 per 100,000.

Figures are voluntary agency submissions joined to population denominators; incomplete coverage can move the number.
2020–2024 direction
Across 4 comparable reporting years, the rate moved from 642.6 per 100,000 in 2020 to 258.0 in 2024 (-59.9%). The highest observed value was 642.6 in 2020 and the lowest 258.0 in 2024. 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 Rohnert Park's 258.0 violent-crime rate per 100,000 are Soledad (257.3), San Bruno (256.5), Santee (254.4), San Jacinto (254.2). 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 258.0 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Rohnert Park ranks 286 of 458 — above 172 of the 457 other California cities whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test. That is -22.6% against the cohort median of 333.1. 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 Rohnert Park'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.
