What stands out about safety in La Homa

La Homa’s police figures aren’t in the FBI’s tables

La Homa has about 11,300 residents, but no police figures of its own appear in the FBI’s city tables for any recent year, so there’s no crime rate or Safety Grade. That usually means the department didn’t send a full year of reports. The county’s numbers below cover a wider area.

Written from the FBI data on this page. County and state agency figures cover their whole patrol area, not just this town, so they can’t be turned into a rate.

County figures

The county’s figures, for the wider area

La Homa’s own police figures aren’t in the FBI’s data. These are the numbers the Hidalgo County Sheriff’s Office reports for the parts of Hidalgo County it patrols, which usually don’t include a town with its own police.

Hidalgo County Sheriff’s Office

Crimes reported in the parts of Hidalgo 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 28% since 2022▲ Violent crime up 36% 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.

Crime: FBI Uniform Crime Reporting Program, Crime Data Explorer: offenses known to law enforcement by city, and state and national rates. Counts are crimes reported to police, not convictions. The Safety Grade is our own summary of that data, not an official rating. Natural hazards: FEMA National Risk Index and flood insurance claims. Hospitals: CMS Hospital General Information. This isn’t an official statement of public safety. In an emergency, call 911.
