Irving's numbers pull in two directions. Violent crime at 276 per 100,000 sits 28% below the national 381 and fell 9.2% in the 2024 FBI reporting year, a pattern SafeNest classifies as improving. Property crime runs the other way: 2,199 per 100k against a national 1,954, 13% above. Irving grades C and ranks in the 22nd percentile of the 13,216 jurisdictions SafeNest grades on measured crime. Schools split similarly. The 4.6/10 average across 58 rated schools hides a real spread — high schools average 6.0/10, elementary schools 4.2/10, and Uplift North Hills Prep Middle reaches 9.7/10. Texas records 44 FEMA flood declarations between 1953 and 2026, a state figure rather than a parcel-level one. Every number here is a city-wide average; the specific street you are weighing can sit anywhere within it.

Texas has also seen 27 hurricane or tropical-storm declarations, events that frequently drive flooding. These are state-level federal declarations, not a parcel-level flood-zone determination — a specific Irving address may sit inside or well outside a FEMA flood zone, which SafeNest does not determine; check FEMA's flood maps and flood-insurance requirements for that address.

Registered offenders
Registered-offender data is meaningful only at the address level, so SafeNest does not publish a city-wide figure for Irving: a single citywide number would blend blocks with very different profiles and mislead more than it informs. Registered offender counts by distance band for any specific Irving address are included in a SafeNest report, drawn directly from the state's public registry. The iPhone app shows that count free for any address, and maps each registrant with Premium.
