About the colors and distances

About these categories

The FBI publishes city totals by family, not a full breakdown by offence, so homicide is the only type Corpus Christi Police Department reports separately here. Red means more than before, green means fewer. “Not yet” means the site does not have that month from a year earlier.

Common questions

answered with the data above
Is Corpus Christi safe?

By reported violent crime, Corpus Christi is well above the average of the 302 cities and county areas on this site: 745 violent crimes per 100,000 residents per year over the 12 months to June 2026, −8% versus the previous 12 months. Safety varies a lot by neighborhood, so the citywide figure is only a starting point.

Is there a crime map for Corpus Christi?

This site does not have one for Corpus Christi. The figures on this page come from the FBI, which receives city totals rather than locations, so CurrentCrimeMap shows how Corpus Christi compares with nearby places such as Brownsville, TX instead of a street-level map.

What is the crime rate in Corpus Christi?

745 violent and 2,689 property crimes per 100,000 residents per year, based on 10,889 incidents reported to Corpus Christi Police Department over the 12 months to June 2026.

Is crime in Corpus Christi going up or down?

It is going down: violent crime −8% and property crime −8% over the last 12 months compared with the 12 months before.

How many homicides has Corpus Christi had in 2026?

Corpus Christi Police Department reported 9 homicides from January to June 2026, the latest month it has reported in full, against 10 in the same months of 2025. Over the 12 months to Jun 2026 the count was 12, or 4 per 100,000 residents.

Where does the data come from?

From Corpus Christi Police Department, via FBI Crime Data Explorer (dataset TX1780200). We count reported incidents by month and offense type and divide by the Census population. Reported crime undercounts actual crime; see the methodology page for what the numbers leave out.

Moving to or visiting Corpus Christi

12 months to June 2026

What these numbers leave out: most crime never reaches the police. In the federal victim survey (BJS, 2024), about half of violent crimes and less than a third of property crimes were reported, and only a quarter of everyday thefts. Rates are per resident, so busy downtowns and tourist areas look worse than they are for the people who visit them.

The official source is FBI Crime Data Explorer. For what to look for, and what not to read into a rate, see how to read US crime numbers.
