What the 2024 FBI UCR record shows for Round Rock, TX
Comparable rate records
Round Rock's closest reported-rate comparisons are in the Texas cohort
The nearest comparable 2024 records to Round Rock's 130.7 violent-crime rate per 100,000 are Manor (131.1), Dayton (130.0), Hedwig Village (130.0), Blue Mound (131.5). 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.
Offense mix
The reported mix leans further toward property offenses than the state cohort
Violent offenses are 6.3% of the 2,773 Part I offenses reported in Round Rock for 2024, against a median of 14.4% across comparable Texas cities — a gap of 8.0 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
Round Rock sits mid-pack among comparable Texas cities
At 130.7 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Round Rock ranks 445 of 686 — above 241 of the 685 other Texas cities whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test. That is -27.3% against the cohort median of 179.9. 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 83.9% of reported property offenses in Round Rock, against a cohort median of 71.6%. The remainder is burglary (228) and motor vehicle theft (189). 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 lower
Across 5 comparable reporting years, the rate moved from 141.0 per 100,000 in 2020 to 130.7 in 2024 (-7.3%). The highest observed value was 175.9 in 2022 and the lowest 130.7 in 2024. Years whose submission failed the completeness test are left out of this comparison rather than plotted as change.
Property counts dominate Round Rock'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.
