What the 2024 FBI UCR record shows for San Bernardino County, CA

Position in the state cohort

San Bernardino County sits mid-pack among comparable California counties

At 69.0 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, San Bernardino County ranks 40 of 56 — above 16 of the 55 other California counties whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test and carries a matched Census denominator. That is -46.9% against the cohort median of 129.8. 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 47.5% of reported property offenses in San Bernardino County, against a cohort median of 66.2%. The remainder is burglary (868) and motor vehicle theft (957). 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 3 comparable reporting years, the rate moved from 85.2 per 100,000 in 2020 to 69.0 in 2024 (-19.0%). The highest observed value was 91.9 in 2022 and the lowest 69.0 in 2024. Years whose submission failed the completeness test are left out of this comparison rather than plotted as change.

On a very 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.
