Violent crime rate

▼ Lower is better Worsening recently, faster than peers
Compared against How peers are chosen →

Violent crime rose about 19% over the 12 months ending May 2026, faster than 100% of similar-size cities.

Multi-year view: violent crime is about 22% higher than in 2021 (98 then, 120 now), but the direction has turned: after bottoming near 82 in 2024 it has risen each year since. That recent climb is movement in the wrong direction.
Longer view: violent crime fell less than 1%% a year from 2018 to 2026.
Most recent monthly reading: 121 in May 2026, up from 102 a year earlier.

Tracts marked * moved less than their own survey margin, so their color is a direction, not a claim.
