What the 2024 FBI UCR record shows for Waller County, TX
Position in the state cohort
Waller County sits mid-pack among comparable Texas counties
At 110.9 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Waller County ranks 67 of 231 — above 164 of the 230 other Texas counties whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test and carries a matched Census denominator. That is +38.6% 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
The reported mix leans further toward property offenses than the state cohort
Violent offenses are 12.6% of the 500 Part I offenses reported in Waller County for 2024, against a median of 20.0% across comparable Texas counties — a gap of 7.4 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.
2020–2024 direction
The reported violent-crime rate ended the window higher
Across 5 comparable reporting years, the rate moved from 105.6 per 100,000 in 2020 to 110.9 in 2024 (+5.0%). The highest observed value was 147.9 in 2022 and the lowest 96.8 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.
