What stands out about safety in Tara Hills

Read from the numbers below. The page puts what stands out first.

Who patrols here

Tara Hills is covered by the county

Tara Hills has no police department of its own in the FBI’s data. Calls here most likely go to the Contra Costa County Sheriff’s Office, and its numbers cover the whole area it patrols, not just Tara Hills.

Contra Costa County Sheriff’s Office

Crimes reported in the parts of Contra Costa County it patrols: the towns and villages without police of their own.

Property crimes (burglary, theft, stolen cars)

Violent crimes (assault, robbery, rape, murder)

▼ Property crime down 12% since 2022→ Violent crime about the same since 2022

These are counts, not rates. The FBI doesn’t publish how many people each agency covers, so we can’t turn them into a per-resident figure or a Safety Grade. Source: FBI Uniform Crime Reporting, offenses known to law enforcement by county and by state agency.
