What the 2024 FBI UCR record shows for Williamson County, TX
Position in the state cohort
Williamson County reported a lower violent-crime rate than most comparable Texas counties
At 34.5 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Williamson County ranks 179 of 231 — above 52 of the 230 other Texas counties whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test and carries a matched Census denominator. That is -57.0% against the cohort median of 80.3. 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 10.4% of the 2,026 Part I offenses reported in Williamson County for 2024, against a median of 20.0% across comparable Texas counties — a gap of 9.7 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 27.9 per 100,000 in 2020 to 34.5 in 2024 (+23.5%). The highest observed value was 35.6 in 2023 and the lowest 27.9 in 2020. Years whose submission failed the completeness test are left out of this comparison rather than plotted as change.
Property-offense composition
Larceny-theft dominates the property total more than it does across the cohort
Larceny-theft is 70.2% of reported property offenses in Williamson County, against a cohort median of 59.6%. The remainder is burglary (367) and motor vehicle theft (175). Composition differences of this size usually track what kinds of places and property are present in a jurisdiction.
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.
