The following table of United States cities by crime rate is based on Federal Bureau of Investigation Uniform Crime Reports (UCR) statistics from 2019 for the 100 most populous cities in America that have reported data to the FBI UCR system. [1] The population numbers are based on U.S. Census estimates for the year end.
When this linear assumption does not hold, rates per capita still have population effects. In these nonlinear cases, per capita rates can inflate or deflate the representation of crime in cities, introducing an artifactual bias into rankings. Therefore, it is necessary to test for linearity before comparing crime rates of cities of different sizes.
Violent crime rate per 100k population by state (2023) [1] This is a list of U.S. states and territories by violent crime rate. It is typically expressed in units of incidents per 100,000 individuals per year; thus, a violent crime rate of 300 (per 100,000 inhabitants) in a population of 100,000 would mean 300 incidents of violent crime per year in that entire population, or 0.3% out of the total.
At the other end of the list, Birmingham, Alabama, ranks as the city with the highest crime cost per capita in the U.S. at $11,392, coupled with a high violent crime rate of 1,682 per 100,000 ...
The report does not include violent crime data from New York City, the largest U.S. city. The New York Police Department previously shared data that indicates that violent crime declined in the ...
Overall, national violent crime decreased 3% from 2022 to 2023, and property crime rates dropped 2.4%, the annual report showed. A 7.6% decline in burglary and a 4.4% drop in larceny rates ...
Crime rates per capita might also be biased by population size depending on the crime type. [6] This misrepresentation occurs because rates per capita assume that crime increases at the same pace as the number of people in an area. [7] When this linear assumption does not hold, rates per capita still have population effects.
Law enforcement agencies in the nation's largest cities – those with at least 1 million people – showed a 7% decrease in violent crime in 2023, while communities with between 250,000 and ...
