What the 2024 FBI UCR record shows for Yucaipa, CA
Comparable rate records
Yucaipa's closest reported-rate comparisons are in the California cohort
The nearest comparable 2024 records to Yucaipa's 349.9 violent-crime rate per 100,000 are Cerritos (350.3), Los Alamitos (351.6), Manteca (347.5), Healdsburg (352.4). 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 29.8% of the 631 Part I offenses reported in Yucaipa for 2024, against a median of 17.1% across comparable California cities — a gap of 12.7 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.
2020–2024 direction
The reported violent-crime rate ended the window higher
Across 4 comparable reporting years, the rate moved from 282.3 per 100,000 in 2020 to 349.9 in 2024 (+23.9%). The highest observed value was 349.9 in 2024 and the lowest 103.1 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
Yucaipa sits mid-pack among comparable California cities
At 349.9 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Yucaipa ranks 222 of 458 — above 236 of the 457 other California cities whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test. That is +6.5% 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.
Property counts dominate Yucaipa'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.
