In 2024, the city of Vernon ended up with the highest violent crime rate in Los Angeles County (245.2 violent crimes per 1,000 residents). Industry and Irwindale also came in with very high violent crime rates. It should be noted, however, that these are cities have relatively tiny populations (about 1,500 residents or less). These tiny cities tend to suffer statistically skewed crime rates, due to their population size, as crime rates here are measured per thousand residents (and two of these cities have less than one thousand residents). Commerce, a much larger community with more than 12,000 residents, holds L.A. County's highest violent crime rate among larger cities. In 2024, it suffered almost 14 violent crimes per thousand residents. Other Los Angeles County cities with high violent crime rates and sizable populations are Compton (12 violent crimes per thousand residents), Santa Monica and Santa Fe Springs (each suffereing 10 violent crimes per thousand residents).

* Forcible rape (not statutory rape)
† Crime rate is number of crimes per 1,000 population. It is the calculated result of number of crimes divided by population number (annual population estimates reported by the California Department of Finance or, when years end in "0", decennial census numbers from the U.S. Census) and then multiplied by 1,000.
Cities with relatively small populations (such as Vernon, Industry, Irwindale) often show unusually high crime rates. This is not to say that small communities can't experience high crime rates, however, it should be kept in mind that the crime rate formula applied to crimes within a small population may not actually reflect the realistical prevalence of crime, as compared to communities with much larger populations.

† Crime rate is number of crimes per 1,000 population. It is the calculated result of number of crimes divided by population number (annual population estimates reported by the California Department of Finance or, when years end in "0", decennial census numbers from the U.S. Census) and then multiplied by 1,000.
Cities with relatively small populations (such as Vernon, Industry, Irwindale) often show unusually high crime rates. This is not to say that small communities can't experience high crime rates, however, it should be kept in mind that the crime rate formula applied to crimes within a small population may not actually reflect the realistical prevalence of crime, as compared to communities with much larger populations.

‡ City of Downey crime statistics were obtained directly from Downey Police Department reports.
