Hood County reported a higher violent-crime rate than most comparable Texas counties
At 136.4 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Hood County ranks 48 of 231 — above 183 of the 230 other Texas counties whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test and carries a matched Census denominator.

Property-offense composition
Larceny-theft dominates the property total more than it does across the cohort
Larceny-theft is 71.4% of reported property offenses in Hood County, against a cohort median of 59.6%. The remainder is burglary (62) and motor vehicle theft (37). Composition differences of this size usually track what kinds of places and property are present in a jurisdiction.
2020–2024 direction
The reported violent-crime rate ended the window higher
Across 5 comparable reporting years, the rate moved from 121.8 per 100,000 in 2020 to 136.4 in 2024 (+12.0%). The highest observed value was 152.6 in 2023 and the lowest 74.7 in 2022. 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.
