What the 2024 FBI UCR record shows for Brazos County, TX
Position in the state cohort
Brazos County reported a lower violent-crime rate than most comparable Texas counties
At 12.0 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Brazos County ranks 211 of 231 — above 20 of the 230 other Texas counties whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test and carries a matched Census denominator. That is -85.1% 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.
Small-count caution
The violent-crime count is small enough that the derived rate is unstable
Brazos County reported 28 violent offences in 2024 against a population of 233,849. At this volume one additional or one fewer report moves the per-100,000 rate noticeably, so the figure is better read as a data point than as a precise measurement, and year-to-year swings here are expected.
2020–2024 direction
The reported violent-crime rate ended the window lower
Across 5 comparable reporting years, the rate moved from 12.4 per 100,000 in 2020 to 12.0 in 2024 (-3.4%). The highest observed value was 31.6 in 2022 and the lowest 12.0 in 2024. Years whose submission failed the completeness test are left out of this comparison rather than plotted as change.
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.
