Lewisville Crime Data for Homebuyers: What the Real Numbers Say

Here is the short answer. The FBI's Crime Data Explorer shows the Lewisville Police Department reported 302 violent offenses and 1,880 property offenses in 2025, for a city population the FBI estimates at about 138,500. Per 100,000 people, that works out to roughly 218 violent and 1,358 property offenses. I can't tell you whether that makes Lewisville the right fit for you. That call is yours. What I can do is show you where the numbers come from and how to read them.

What do the official numbers actually show?

The cleanest public source is the FBI's Crime Data Explorer, which pulls from the incident reports Lewisville PD submits through NIBRS, the national reporting system. Its data was last refreshed in September 2026, so calendar year 2025 is the latest full year.

Here is how Lewisville's reported counts have moved over five years:

• Violent offenses: 322 in 2021, 337 in 2022, 317 in 2023, 266 in 2024, 302 in 2025
• Property offenses: 2,067 in 2021, 2,536 in 2022, 2,451 in 2023, 2,107 in 2024, 1,880 in 2025

So property offenses dropped three years in a row, and violent offenses went up from 2024 to 2025 after falling the two years before. Both things are true at once, which is why one headline number never tells the whole story.

For context, the same FBI dataset puts the 2025 rate for Texas as a whole at about 349 violent and 1,813 property offenses per 100,000 people. The national figures were about 329 and 1,552.

One thing to watch when comparing years

The FBI's population estimate for Lewisville jumped from about 113,600 in 2022 to about 133,700 in 2023. When the population number moves that much, per-person rates shift even if the number of crimes doesn't. Raw counts are the steadier way to compare one year to the next.

Why do different websites show different numbers for the same city?

You will see crime "grades" and "scores" on plenty of real estate and data sites. Many of them build their own index, use different years, or estimate block-level numbers from a model instead of from actual police reports. That's why two sites can disagree about the same street.

There's also a definitions issue. Lewisville PD's monthly report card counts "crimes against persons," which under NIBRS includes offenses like simple assault. The FBI's "violent crime" category is narrower. In June 2025, for example, the department's report card listed 157 crimes against persons, 216 crimes against property, and 6,747 calls for service. Calls for service are not crimes. They include welfare checks, traffic hazards, and other routine calls.

When you see a number, ask three questions: who collected it, what year it covers, and what it counts.

How can you check the data for a specific address yourself?

You don't need to take anyone's word for it, including mine. Here are the public tools:

• The FBI Crime Data Explorer lets you look up Lewisville Police Department and compare it to state and national rates.
• Lewisville PD partners with LexisNexis Community Crime Map, which shows reported incidents on a map and lets you sign up for email alerts for an area.
• The city publishes a Calls for Service dashboard and police metrics on its Lewisville Metrics site.
• The department's non-emergency line is 972-219-3640. You can call with questions about what they are seeing in a particular area.

Also confirm which agency actually covers the address. Lewisville sits in both Denton and Dallas counties, and a Lewisville mailing address doesn't always mean Lewisville PD is the responding agency. If it's a different agency, look up that agency's data instead.

What should you do beyond reading the numbers?

Data tells you what got reported. It doesn't tell you how a street feels to you. Say you're down to two homes. Drive by each one on a weekday morning, a weeknight, and a weekend. Notice traffic, lighting, and how close you are to busy roads or commercial areas. Talk to people who live nearby if you get the chance.

Then make your own call. As a Texas agent, I follow fair housing law, so I won't label any neighborhood or tell you where to look or not look. I will gladly point you to the sources and help you get the answers you need for any home you're considering.
