In 2022, the city of Commerce ended up with the highest violent crime rate in Los Angeles County (15 violent crimes per 1,000 residents). Indeed, Vernon, Industry and Irwindale did record even higher violent crime rates, however, it should be noted that these are relatively tiny cities (less than 1,500 residents), which typically statistically skews their crime rates. Commerce, however, has a population of more than 12,000. Other Los Angeles County cities with high violent crime rates and populations at least as large as that of Commerce are Compton (11 crimes per 1,000) and West Hollywood (9 crimes per 1,000). Commerce, however, ranks number two among the five most dangerous California cities with a population of at least 12,000. The other four cities were Oakland (#1), San Bernardino (#3), Stockton (#4) and Emeryville (#5). If this ranking was limited to cities with at least a population of 25,000, Compton makes the list at number 5.

* Forcible rape (not statutory rape)
† Crime rate is number of crimes per 100,000 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 and Commerce) 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 100,000 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 and Commerce) 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.
