Position in the state cohort
Bastrop County reported a higher violent-crime rate than most comparable Texas counties
At 277.7 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Bastrop County ranks 3 of 231 — above 228 of the 230 other Texas counties whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test and carries a matched Census denominator. That is +246.9% 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 4 comparable reporting years, the rate moved from 203.7 per 100,000 in 2020 to 277.7 in 2024 (+36.4%). The highest observed value was 359.0 in 2022 and the lowest 203.7 in 2020. Years whose submission failed the completeness test are left out of this comparison rather than plotted as change.
Offense mix
Violent offenses make up an unusually large share of the reported mix
Violent offenses are 25.2% of the 1,073 Part I offenses reported in Bastrop County for 2024, against a median of 20.0% across comparable Texas counties — a gap of 5.2 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.
On a large county row, county figures aggregate every participating agency inside the county. Participation is voluntary. Per-100,000 rates use a separately matched 2020 U.S. Census county population, never a Table 10 field; unmatched counties stay count-only. A large county line encloses very different communities.
