Bexar County, TX reported 53 violent crimes per 100,000 in FBI UCR 2024
According to the FBI Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Program for 2024, Bexar County, TX agencies reported 1,061 violent and 6,223 property offenses. That equals about 53 violent and 310 property crimes per 100,000 using a verified Census population join. Table 10 coverage is a voluntary subset of U.S. counties.
2020–2024 direction
Across 5 comparable reporting years, the rate moved from 39.1 per 100,000 in 2020 to 52.8 in 2024 (+35.2%). The highest observed value was 52.8 in 2024 and the lowest 39.1 in 2020. Years whose submission failed the completeness test are left out of this comparison rather than plotted as change.
Position in the state cohort
At 52.8 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Bexar County ranks 159 of 231 — above 72 of the 230 other Texas counties whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test and carries a matched Census denominator. That is -34.2% against the cohort median of 80.3. Counties that did not report, or that reported implausibly low totals, are excluded from this cohort rather than counted as low-crime.
Offense mix
Violent offenses are 14.6% of the 7,284 Part I offenses reported in Bexar County for 2024, against a median of 20.0% across comparable Texas counties — a gap of 5.4 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 very 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.
