Comparable rate records
The nearest comparable 2024 records to Seabrook's 226.5 violent-crime rate per 100,000 are Katy (226.5), Eagle Lake (226.6), Vidor (226.0), Colorado City (225.9). 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
Across 5 comparable reporting years, the rate moved from 333.0 per 100,000 in 2020 to 226.5 in 2024 (-32.0%). The highest observed value was 333.0 in 2020 and the lowest 138.0 in 2023. Years whose submission failed the completeness test are left out of this comparison rather than plotted as change.
Position in the state cohort
At 226.5 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Seabrook ranks 275 of 686 — above 411 of the 685 other Texas cities whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test. That is +26.6% 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.
Property counts dominate Seabrook'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.
