Crimes reported to the FBI per 1,000 residents a year, 2023–2025. “Rest of TX” is every other Texas city and town in the FBI’s tables; the U.S. figure is the FBI’s national estimate as published, averaged over the three years.

12 people died in crashes on Humble’s roads in 2019–2023
Humble had 12 fatal crashes in five years, in which 12 people died; 4 were pedestrians. 2 died in crashes on an Interstate.
That is 14.5 deaths per 100,000 residents a year, above the median for Texas towns of 5,000–25,000 people (7.3, 297 towns).
Deaths are counted where the crash happened, not where the people lived: a highway through town adds through-traffic deaths, and residents’ own risk on roads elsewhere isn’t here. Town rates sit below state and U.S. rates because a third of fatal crashes happen outside any town. Road safety is described here and is not part of the Safety Grade.

What this data can and can’t tell you
- It’s reported crime. Only incidents reported to and recorded by police appear here. Many crimes are never reported to police.
- One number for all of Humble. A town-wide rate doesn’t show where incidents happen, and that can differ a lot from one part of town to another.
- Visitors count too. Incidents involving people who work, shop or visit are counted against Humble’s residents, which raises the per-resident rate.
- Whose population. Rates use the FBI’s population for the department (16,521 in 2025); our figure for Humble is 16,484 (2025 Census estimate).
- Gaps are real gaps. A missing year means the department didn’t report a full year, not that nothing happened.
