What the 2024 FBI UCR record shows for Chambers County, TX

Position in the state cohort

Chambers County reported a higher violent-crime rate than most comparable Texas counties

At 223.3 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Chambers County ranks 12 of 231 — above 219 of the 230 other Texas counties whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test and carries a matched Census denominator. That is +179.0% 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

The reported mix leans further toward property offenses than the state cohort

Violent offenses are 14.2% of the 732 Part I offenses reported in Chambers County for 2024, against a median of 20.0% across comparable Texas counties — a gap of 5.8 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 lower

Across 5 comparable reporting years, the rate moved from 257.7 per 100,000 in 2020 to 223.3 in 2024 (-13.3%). The highest observed value was 292.0 in 2022 and the lowest 223.3 in 2023. 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.
