What changed

Violent crime rose about 5% over the 12 months ending December 2025, faster than 73% of similar-size cities.

Broader trend
Multi-year view: violent crime is about 9% higher than in 2020 (302 then, 329 now), but the direction has turned: after bottoming near 220 in 2023 it has risen mostly since. That recent climb is movement in the wrong direction.

Violent crime rose about 3% a year from 2018 to 2025.

▸ Where is this changing? 13 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.
