What the 2024 FBI UCR record shows for Medina County, TX
Position in the state cohort
Medina County reported a higher violent-crime rate than most comparable Texas counties
At 134.0 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Medina County ranks 49 of 231 — above 182 of the 230 other Texas counties whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test and carries a matched Census denominator. That is +67.4% 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.
Offense mix
Violent offenses make up an unusually large share of the reported mix
Violent offenses are 26.5% of the 257 Part I offenses reported in Medina County for 2024, against a median of 20.0% across comparable Texas counties — a gap of 6.5 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.
Property-offense composition
Burglary and vehicle theft carry more of the property total than they do across the cohort
Larceny-theft is 47.1% of reported property offenses in Medina County, against a cohort median of 59.6%. The remainder is burglary (29) and motor vehicle theft (71). 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 close to where it started
Across 5 comparable reporting years, the rate moved from 136.0 per 100,000 in 2020 to 134.0 in 2024 (-1.4%). The highest observed value was 136.0 in 2020 and the lowest 86.7 in 2021. 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.
