Violent crime rate

▼ Lower is better Worsening recently, faster than peers

Compared against How peers are chosen →

Violent crime rose about 20% over the 12 months ending April 2025, faster than 90% of similar-size cities.

Multi-year view: violent crime is about 30% higher than in 2020 (95 then, 123 now), but the direction has turned: after bottoming near 72 in 2022 it has risen each year since. That recent climb is movement in the wrong direction.

Longer view: violent crime rose about 4% a year from 2018 to 2025.

Most recent monthly reading: 123 in April 2025, up from 103 a year earlier.

Change is measured between each place's two non-overlapping survey periods against its published margins (90% confidence). significant improvement · significant worsening · not significant (within the margin). Change rank orders every measured change; read it with the dot beside it, ranks among hollow-dot rows are ordering values inside their margins. Today's rank orders current values in the metric's better direction.

▸ Where is this changing? 15 census tracts

Each tract is colored and ranked by its change from 2019 to 2024, between the same two survey periods as the card above, as a share of its own starting level: blue tracts rose, orange tracts fell. Tracts marked * moved less than their own survey margin, so their color is a direction, not a claim. Hover a tract for its numbers and history, or a table row to find that tract on the map; click either for its location or its data in the Explorer.
