What the 2024 FBI UCR record shows for Burnet County, TX
Position in the state cohort
Burnet County sits mid-pack among comparable Texas counties
At 118.1 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Burnet County ranks 60 of 231 — above 171 of the 230 other Texas counties whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test and carries a matched Census denominator. That is +47.5% 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.
Offense mix
Violent offenses make up an unusually large share of the reported mix
Violent offenses are 29.1% of the 199 Part I offenses reported in Burnet County for 2024, against a median of 20.0% across comparable Texas counties — a gap of 9.1 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.
2020–2024 direction
The reported violent-crime rate ended the window higher
Across 5 comparable reporting years, the rate moved from 105.8 per 100,000 in 2020 to 118.1 in 2024 (+11.5%). The highest observed value was 134.3 in 2022 and the lowest 105.8 in 2020. Years whose submission failed the completeness test are left out of this comparison rather than plotted as change.
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.
