Position in the state cohort
Brown County reported a higher violent-crime rate than most comparable Texas counties
At 126.0 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Brown County ranks 56 of 231 — above 175 of the 230 other Texas counties whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test and carries a matched Census denominator. That is +57.4% 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 97.1 per 100,000 in 2020 to 126.0 in 2024 (+29.7%). The highest observed value was 126.0 in 2024 and the lowest 78.8 in 2023. Years whose submission failed the completeness test are left out of this comparison rather than plotted as change.
Property-offense composition
Burglary and vehicle theft carry more of the property total than they do across the cohort
Larceny-theft is 47.9% of reported property offenses in Brown County, against a cohort median of 59.6%. The remainder is burglary (85) and motor vehicle theft (14). Composition differences of this size usually track what kinds of places and property are present in a jurisdiction.
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.
