Crime & Safety in Irving
Irving's crime picture reads differently depending on which aggregator and which specific metric you look at, and that disagreement is worth disclosing rather than resolving in either direction. HomeSnacks-style per-capita data cites an estimated violent crime rate of 311.0 per 100,000 residents (a separate figure cites 275.4 per 100,000) and a property crime rate of 2,156.3 per 100,000 -- about 18% above the national average -- while CrimeGrade.org separately assigns Irving an overall safety grade of C+ and describes its overall combined crime rate as about 10% below the national average, an apparent tension between sources worth naming directly.

Learn moreViolent and Property Crime Rates: Two Sources, Two Figures
Per-capita crime aggregators reviewed August 2026 cite Irving's estimated violent crime rate at 311.0 per 100,000 residents (one source) or 275.4 per 100,000 (a separate source) -- a real, if modest, disagreement worth naming rather than picking one. Property crime is cited at 2,156.3 per 100,000, described as about 18% above the national average. Translated into odds, this works out to roughly a 1-in-322 chance of being a victim of violent crime and a 1-in-46 chance for property crime in a given year, per the same aggregated data.
A Separate Aggregator's Different Read: C+ Grade, 'Below National Average' Overall
CrimeGrade.org separately assigns Irving an overall crime safety grade of C+ as of 2026, describing the city's overall (blended violent-plus-property) crime rate as roughly 10% below the national average -- a genuinely different read than the property-crime-specific '18% above national' figure cited above. This isn't necessarily a contradiction (different aggregators weight violent vs. property crime differently, and use different baseline populations and time windows), but it is a real inconsistency across sources that this page discloses rather than silently resolves. Anyone relying on a single crime statistic for Irving should treat it as one aggregator's methodology, not a settled fact.
Use Block-Level Data for a Specific Address
As with any city this size, citywide and even aggregator-specific figures blend genuinely different areas together. This page does not name any specific Irving neighborhood as higher- or lower-crime -- anyone evaluating a specific address should consult a block-level crime-mapping tool directly (CrimeGrade.org's own neighborhood-level maps, NeighborhoodScout, or the Irving Police Department's published data) rather than relying on either the citywide average or informal reputation for a given area.
Key takeaways
- Irving's violent crime rate is cited at either 311.0 or 275.4 per 100,000 residents depending on source (roughly a 1-in-322 annual chance); property crime is cited at 2,156.3 per 100,000 (roughly 1-in-46), described as about 18% above the national average.
- CrimeGrade.org separately gives Irving an overall C+ safety grade and describes its blended crime rate as roughly 10% below the national average -- a real tension with the property-crime figure above, disclosed here rather than resolved.
- This page does not name any Irving neighborhood as higher- or lower-crime -- use a block-level crime-mapping tool for any specific address.
