In 2023, the city of Commerce continued to end up with the highest violent crime rate in Los Angeles County (13 violent crimes per 1,000 residents). Indeed, Vernon, Industry and Irwindale had higher violent crime rates, however, it should be noted that these are cities with relatively tiny populations (less than 1,500 residents). These tiny communities typically have statistically skewed crime rates. Commerce, however, has a population of more than 12,000 - not a tiny community. Other Los Angeles County cities with high violent crime rates and larger populations are Compton (12 crimes per 1,000), West Hollywood (9 crimes per 1,000), Santa Monica, Lancaster and Los Angeles (8 crimes each per 1,000).

* 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 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 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 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. Other factors, such as a higher concentration of commercial crime due to a higher concentration of commerical/industrial establishements (such as in Commerce and Industry) may also skew the crime rate higher.
