What the 2024 FBI UCR record shows for Atascosa County, TX
Position in the state cohort
Atascosa County reported a higher violent-crime rate than most comparable Texas counties
At 167.4 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Atascosa County ranks 30 of 231 — above 201 of the 230 other Texas counties whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test and carries a matched Census denominator. That is +109.1% against the cohort median of 80.1. Counties that did not report, or that reported implausibly low totals, are excluded from this cohort rather than counted as low-crime.
2020–2024 direction
The reported violent-crime rate ended the window higher
Across 5 comparable reporting years, the rate moved from 130.7 per 100,000 in 2020 to 167.4 in 2024 (+28.1%). The highest observed value was 226.6 in 2022 and the lowest 130.7 in 2020. 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 16.2% of the 507 Part I offenses reported in Atascosa County for 2024, against a median of 20.0% across comparable Texas counties — a gap of 3.8 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.
Mid-size county rows still aggregate voluntary UCR submissions. Per-100,000 rates need a matched 2020 Census population; unmatched stay count-only. County-wide totals rarely describe any single town inside the line.
