What the 2024 FBI UCR record shows for Victorville, CA
Position in the state cohort
Victorville reported a higher violent-crime rate than most comparable California cities
At 1015.6 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Victorville ranks 19 of 458 — above 439 of the 457 other California cities whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test. That is +209.2% 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.
Comparable rate records
Victorville's closest reported-rate comparisons are in the California cohort
The nearest comparable 2024 records to Victorville's 1015.6 violent-crime rate per 100,000 are Eureka (1016.3), Oroville (980.8), Corning (947.6), Richmond (923.1). 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
Violent offenses make up an unusually large share of the reported mix
Violent offenses are 32.3% of the 4,412 Part I offenses reported in Victorville for 2024, against a median of 17.1% across comparable California cities — a gap of 15.2 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-offense composition
Burglary and vehicle theft carry more of the property total than they do across the cohort
Larceny-theft is 54.2% of reported property offenses in Victorville, against a cohort median of 69.5%. The remainder is burglary (497) and motor vehicle theft (870). 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 880.7 per 100,000 in 2020 to 1015.6 in 2024 (+15.3%). The highest observed value was 1015.6 in 2024 and the lowest 430.2 in 2023. Years whose submission failed the completeness test are left out of this comparison rather than plotted as change.
Property counts dominate Victorville'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.
