What the 2024 FBI UCR record shows for Wise County, TX
Position in the state cohort
Wise County sits mid-pack among comparable Texas counties
At 112.2 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Wise County ranks 65 of 231 — above 166 of the 230 other Texas counties whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test and carries a matched Census denominator. That is +40.1% 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 12.7% of the 604 Part I offenses reported in Wise County for 2024, against a median of 20.0% across comparable Texas counties — a gap of 7.3 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 45.9% of reported property offenses in Wise County, against a cohort median of 59.6%. The remainder is burglary (245) and motor vehicle theft (40). 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 5 comparable reporting years, the rate moved from 134.0 per 100,000 in 2020 to 112.2 in 2024 (-16.3%). The highest observed value was 160.3 in 2023 and the lowest 112.2 in 2024. 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.
