Crandall Crime By The Numbers: What The 2024 Data Shows
Property offenses drove nearly eight in ten of the city’s serious reported crimes last year, according to reviewed FBI data.
Crandall has changed quickly. What was once a small Kaufman County community is now one of the fastest growing cities in North Texas.
For residents who have arrived during that growth, crime statistics offer a clear picture of public safety in Crandall. The most recent FBI data shows exactly where the city stands.
Property Crime Dominates The Numbers
The most recent fully published citywide FBI crime data for Crandall covers 2024. That year, Crandall reported 222 offenses across the major violent and property crime categories tracked in federal data.
Of those 222 offenses, 172 were property crimes and 50 were violent crimes. That means about 78 percent of Crandall’s major reported crimes were property offenses.
The Full Crime Breakdown
The table below breaks down every major offense category reported in Crandall during 2024, ranked from most to least common.
| Rank | Offense | Reported Cases | Share Of Total |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Theft (Larceny) | 79 | 36% |
| 2 | Burglary | 68 | 31% |
| 3 | Aggravated Assault | 35 | 16% |
| 4 | Motor Vehicle Theft | 25 | 11% |
| 5 | Robbery | 8 | 4% |
| 6 | Rape | 7 | 3% |
| 7 | Murder | 0 | 0% |
| Total | 222 | 100% | |
Percentages are rounded to the nearest whole number.
Theft Is The Most Common Crime
Theft, formally called larceny in FBI reporting, was Crandall’s single largest crime category in 2024. It accounted for 79 reported offenses, more than one third of all major crimes in the city.
The FBI’s theft category is broad. It can include shoplifting, theft from vehicles, and other situations where property is taken without the force associated with robbery.
For residents, that makes basic prevention steps worthwhile. Lock vehicles, remove valuables from parked cars, secure packages, and close garages and storage areas when not in use.
Burglary Stands Out
The second most common offense may be the more notable statistic. Crandall recorded 68 burglaries in 2024, nearly matching the city’s 79 theft offenses.
Burglary generally involves unlawful entry into a building or structure with intent to commit a crime inside. For a community adding subdivisions, homes, and construction activity quickly, this is a category worth watching.
Aggravated Assault Leads Violent Crime
Aggravated assault was Crandall’s most commonly reported violent offense in 2024. There were 35 cases, compared with eight robberies and seven reported rapes, and no murders were reported that year.
That distinction matters. A city’s overall violent crime total combines several very different offenses, and in Crandall, aggravated assault alone accounted for 35 of the 50 violent crimes reported.
| Violent Offense | Reported Cases |
|---|---|
| Aggravated Assault | 35 |
| Robbery | 8 |
| Rape | 7 |
| Murder | 0 |
| Total Violent Crime | 50 |
Vehicle Theft Is Also Worth Watching
Crandall reported 25 motor vehicle thefts in 2024, the fourth largest major offense category in the city. Vehicle theft is counted separately from ordinary theft under federal reporting standards.
Twenty five incidents may sound small next to totals in Dallas or other major cities. But small city statistics must be viewed in proportion to population, and a handful of additional offenses can meaningfully shift an annual crime rate in a fast growing city like Crandall.
What The Numbers Do And Do Not Tell Us
- These figures represent offenses reported to law enforcement, not convictions.
- They do not include every ordinance violation, traffic offense, or police call.
- Texas uses NIBRS, the National Incident Based Reporting System, for detailed crime reporting, and local departments submit data through the state’s Uniform Crime Reporting program.
- Records can be revised as agencies correct or update their submissions.
- Statewide trends do not always match an individual city. Texas reported declines in both violent and property crime during 2025, but Crandall’s local pattern should be judged using its own data.
What Crime In Crandall Actually Looks Like
The statistics do not show a city where murders and robberies dominate the crime picture. Instead, Crandall’s most frequently reported serious offenses are far more common property and interpersonal crimes: theft, burglary, vehicle theft, and aggravated assault.
For newer residents, that may be the most useful takeaway. Crandall’s rapid population growth is changing traffic, housing, schools, and businesses, and public safety is part of that same transition.
But when the actual numbers are examined, protecting homes, vehicles, and personal property remains at the center of Crandall’s crime picture.
