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

Position in the state cohort

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

At 229.2 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Liberty County ranks 10 of 231 — above 221 of the 230 other Texas counties whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test and carries a matched Census denominator. That is +186.3% 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.

Property-offense composition

Burglary and vehicle theft carry more of the property total than they do across the cohort

Larceny-theft is 45.3% of reported property offenses in Liberty County, against a cohort median of 59.6%. The remainder is burglary (268) and motor vehicle theft (249). 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 lower

Across 4 comparable reporting years, the rate moved from 270.7 per 100,000 in 2020 to 229.2 in 2024 (-15.3%). The highest observed value was 270.7 in 2020 and the lowest 211.7 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.
