What the 2024 FBI UCR record shows for Rosemead, CA
Comparable rate records
Rosemead's closest reported-rate comparisons are in the California cohort
The nearest comparable 2024 records to Rosemead's 352.9 violent-crime rate per 100,000 are Covina (352.5), Healdsburg (352.4), Los Alamitos (351.6), Lomita (355.1). 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.
Offense mix
The reported mix leans further toward property offenses than the state cohort
Violent offenses are 12.4% of the 1,392 Part I offenses reported in Rosemead for 2024, against a median of 17.1% across comparable California cities — a gap of 4.8 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
Rosemead sits mid-pack among comparable California cities
At 352.9 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Rosemead ranks 217 of 458 — above 241 of the 457 other California cities whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test. That is +7.4% 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.
2020–2024 direction
The reported violent-crime rate ended the window close to where it started
Across 4 comparable reporting years, the rate moved from 349.4 per 100,000 in 2020 to 352.9 in 2024 (+1.0%). The highest observed value was 453.6 in 2023 and the lowest 349.4 in 2020. Years whose submission failed the completeness test are left out of this comparison rather than plotted as change.
Property counts dominate Rosemead'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.
