The Valley, side by side

14 cities, measured the same way

The same official series for every city — U.S. Census, Texas Comptroller, and FBI — no exceptions, no adjustments. The "per resident" and "per 1,000" columns are our arithmetic on the two cited figures; everything else links straight to its source.

Swipe the table sideways to see every column.

A dash means that series isn't published or loaded for that city yet — never estimated. Each population figure links to its Census file; rates use each series' most recent available year (shown), so years can differ between cities.

Every city's full 35-year lines live in History.
