  • However, the city of Baytown is well below the national average in number of assaults per resident; Baytown has an average of 120 assaults or 1.58 per 1,000 residents every year. The national average is much higher, with 741,291 assaults reported per year, and an average of 2.32 assaults per 1,000 US citizens.

Property Crimes

When it comes to property crimes--including burglary, theft, and motor vehicle theft--both Baytown and Texas in general come out above the national median of 26 property crimes per 1,000 citizens. Texas is a little bit above this number, with an average of 30.19 property crimes per 1,000 Texans. Baytown, however, is well above the average, with a reported 41.51 property crimes per 1,000 residents reported every year. This comes out to a total of 3,160 property crimes reported every year, on average.

So here is the breakdown of the different types of crime and their frequency in Baytown as compared to the rest of the United States:

  • Baytown reports an average of 638 burglaries every year, or 8.38 per 1,000. The national average is 1,729,806 burglaries per year, or 5.43 per 1,000 Americans.
  • 2,094 people in Baytown report a theft each year, which comes out to an average of 27.51 thefts per 1,000. The United States reports only 18.37 thefts per 1,000 citizens, or an average of 5,858,496 thefts each year.
  • Motor vehicle thefts are also higher in Baytown, with 428 per year, or 5.62 per 1,000 residents. This is much higher than the national average of 2.16 per 1,000, or 689,527 per year.
