What’s behind Hurst’s grade

Both violent and property crime are higher than in most U.S. towns; violent crime is the closer of the two to typical. Its violent rate (2.6) is below the FBI’s national estimate (3.6) but higher than in most individual towns: the national figure is weighted by people, and the grade counts towns.

19 people died in crashes on Hurst’s roads in 2019–2023
Hurst had 19 fatal crashes in five years, in which 19 people died; 2 were pedestrians and 2 were cyclists. 6 died in crashes on an Interstate.
That is 9.5 deaths per 100,000 residents a year, above the median for Texas towns of 25,000–100,000 people (6.1, 88 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 Hurst. 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 Hurst’s residents, which raises the per-resident rate.
- Whose population. Rates use the FBI’s population for the department (39,299 in 2025); our figure for Hurst is 38,974 (2025 Census estimate).
- Gaps are real gaps. A missing year means the department didn’t report a full year, not that nothing happened.
