Larceny-theft is 44.7% of reported property offenses in Tehama County, against a cohort median of 66.2%. The remainder is burglary (135) and motor vehicle theft (21). Composition differences of this size usually track what kinds of places and property are present in a jurisdiction.

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.
