What the 2024 FBI UCR record shows for Roseville, CA
Comparable rate records
Roseville's closest reported-rate comparisons are in the California cohort
The nearest comparable 2024 records to Roseville's 219.2 violent-crime rate per 100,000 are Temple City (221.2), San Marcos (222.4), Encinitas (215.0), Alhambra (224.5). 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
Roseville sits mid-pack among comparable California cities
At 219.2 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Roseville ranks 318 of 458 — above 140 of the 457 other California cities whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test. That is -34.2% 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-offense composition
Larceny-theft dominates the property total more than it does across the cohort
Larceny-theft is 83.0% of reported property offenses in Roseville, against a cohort median of 69.5%. The remainder is burglary (226) and motor vehicle theft (168). Composition differences of this size usually track what kinds of places and property are present in a jurisdiction.
2020–2024 direction
The reported violent-crime rate ended the window higher
Across 4 comparable reporting years, the rate moved from 192.2 per 100,000 in 2020 to 219.2 in 2024 (+14.1%). The highest observed value was 249.9 in 2023 and the lowest 163.4 in 2022. Years whose submission failed the completeness test are left out of this comparison rather than plotted as change.
Offense mix
The reported mix leans further toward property offenses than the state cohort
Violent offenses are 13.4% of the 2,670 Part I offenses reported in Roseville for 2024, against a median of 17.1% across comparable California cities — a gap of 3.7 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 Roseville'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.
