Out to 25 miles, the count of graded towns reaches 10. Mustang Ridge’s police reported to the FBI for 2025 but not 2023 or 2024, so there is no Safety Grade: the grade needs all three years, 2023–2025. Inside a 10-mile circle, only Buda carries a grade.
For every 1,000 residents, about 30 property crimes reported

12 people died in crashes on Mustang Ridge’s roads in 2019–2023
Mustang Ridge had 11 fatal crashes in five years, in which 12 people died.
That is 137.1 deaths per 100,000 residents a year, above the median for Texas towns of 2,500–5,000 people (5.8, 226 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 Mustang Ridge. 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 Mustang Ridge’s residents, which raises the per-resident rate.
- Whose population. Rates use the FBI’s population for the department (1,016 in 2025); our figure for Mustang Ridge is 1,025 (2025 Census estimate).
- Gaps are real gaps. A missing year means the department didn’t report a full year, not that nothing happened.
