Annual rates for complete calendar years. The index view puts every offense on one scale. 2021 is marked: the FBI's switch to NIBRS left agencies covering only 77.0% of residents reporting, so its rates read low.

Preliminary

2026 so far

Agencies report with a lag, so each month of 2026 covers a different share of the population. This compares Jan–Apr 2026 — the months where agencies covering at least 85% of residents have reported — with the same months of 2025, with each month scaled up to the full population by its own coverage.

Beyond police reports

The Bureau of Justice Statistics asks a national sample of households about crimes they experienced, whether or not they told police. It measures the crime that police statistics miss — and how much of it goes unreported.

Homicide in death records

Death certificates give a count of homicide that does not depend on police reporting. It runs above the FBI's murder rate because death certificates record any death caused intentionally by another person as homicide, including killings in self-defense that police do not count as murder.

Rates for 2025 use the population each department serves. † The department reported incomplete data for 2025 — missing months, or far fewer offenses than its usual year.

Hate crime and arrests

Both are counts from the agencies that reported, so totals rise and fall with participation; the shares of arrests compare fairly across years.

Methodology & limitationsHow each source collects its numbers and how this page computes from them
What “reported crime” covers
These are offenses known to law enforcement — crimes reported to or discovered by police. Crimes never reported are not counted. The Bureau of Justice Statistics' National Crime Victimization Survey finds that fewer than half of violent victimizations are reported to police.
UCR and NIBRS
The FBI's Uniform Crime Reporting program collected monthly totals through the Summary Reporting System until 2021, when it began accepting only the incident-based NIBRS format. Many large agencies had not yet converted, so 2021 reporting covered 77.0% of residents — that year is marked on every chart and left out of peaks and lows.
Rates and population
Rates are offenses per 100,000 residents as published by the Crime Data Explorer, which divides offenses reported by participating agencies by the population. Annual rates here are the sum of the twelve monthly rates, and can differ slightly from the FBI's annual estimates, which impute for non-reporting agencies. Raw counts are not shown because they rise and fall with the number of agencies reporting.
Missing agencies and partial years
A year counts as complete when all twelve months are in and agencies covering at least 90% of the U.S. population reported each month. States where agencies covering under 90% of residents reported are marked † — their rates count only those agencies' offenses and read low.
Preliminary 2026 figures
For the year in progress, Worldview uses only months where reporting agencies cover at least 85% of residents, and divides each month's rate by its coverage to estimate a full-population rate. This assumes non-reporting agencies have crime rates like those that reported; the same months of the prior year are scaled the same way.
Definitions
Violent crime is murder and nonnegligent manslaughter, rape, robbery, and aggravated assault; property crime is burglary, larceny-theft, and motor vehicle theft (arson is collected separately). Rape uses the FBI's revised definition, in effect since 2013, for every year shown.
Clearances
Clearance shares divide offenses cleared in a year by offenses reported that year, among reporting agencies. A clearance can relate to an offense from an earlier year, so a single year's share is an approximation.
Victimization survey
The National Crime Victimization Survey interviews more than 200,000 people a year. Worldview computes rates from the BJS public files: victimizations (with repeated “series” incidents counted as BJS does) per 1,000 people 12 and older for violence, and per 1,000 households for property crime. The survey cannot measure homicide, and single-year estimates for rarer crimes carry wide margins of error.
Death records
CDC homicide figures come from death certificates in the National Vital Statistics System, counted by where the person lived. The most recent periods are provisional. County counts under 10 are suppressed, and their rates are marked unstable.
Cities
Cities are incorporated places over 100,000 residents in the Census Bureau's latest 1-year estimates, each matched to its own police department or the consolidated city–county agency that polices it. Unincorporated places policed by a county are not listed. Staffing counts employees as of October 31 each year.
Hate crime and arrests
Both are counts from participating agencies. Hate crime reporting is voluntary, and an incident motivated by more than one bias is counted once under multiple biases. Arrest shares divide each group by all arrests the same agencies reported; juveniles are people under 18. Drug arrests start in 2021: in earlier years the FBI's tables list summary-system drug totals alongside their own subtotals, which cannot be separated without counting arrests twice.
DC and territories
The District of Columbia is ranked with the states. Puerto Rico and the other territories are not shown or ranked.
