About these categories

Homicide, robbery, burglary, theft and vehicle theft come from the same reports Oxnard Police Department sends the FBI. Theft from vehicles is NIBRS codes 23F and 23G (items and parts taken from a vehicle) and theft is the rest of larceny. Robbery is part of violent crime and the others of property crime; assault and rape count in violent crime but are not listed separately, so the rows do not add up to the totals. Red means more than before, green means fewer. “Not yet” means the site does not have that month from a year earlier.

Against other places of 100,000+ residents: vehicle theft (83rd highest rate of 155), robbery (63rd highest rate of 152) and burglary (131st highest rate of 168).

Common questions

answered with the data above
Is Oxnard safe?

By reported violent crime, Oxnard is above the average of the 302 cities and county areas on this site: 539 violent crimes per 100,000 residents per year over the 12 months to July 2026, −6% 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 Oxnard?

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

What is the crime rate in Oxnard?

539 violent and 1,289 property crimes per 100,000 residents per year, based on 3,660 incidents reported to Oxnard Police Department over the 12 months to July 2026. Violent crime includes 140 robberies (property taken by force or threat); property crime includes 203 burglaries, 736 thefts from vehicles and 1,168 other thefts.

Is crime in Oxnard going up or down?

It is going down: violent crime −6% and property crime −33% over the last 12 months compared with the 12 months before.

How many homicides has Oxnard had in 2026?

Oxnard Police Department reported 1 homicide from January to July 2026, the latest month it has reported in full, against 3 in the same months of 2025. Over the 12 months to Jul 2026 the count was 2, or 1 per 100,000 residents.

Where does the data come from?

From Oxnard Police Department, via FBI Crime Data Explorer (dataset CA0560400). 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 Oxnard

12 months to July 2026
What most people ask aboutReportedPer 100kvs. the 12 months before
RobberyTaking property by force or threat14070−40%
BurglaryEntering a home or business to steal203101−47%
Theft from vehiclesItems or parts taken from a vehicle, break-ins included736367−31%
Vehicle theft449224−35%

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.
