What changed

Violent crime was essentially flat over the 12 months ending July 2026.

Broader trend
Multi-year view: violent crime is less than 1% lower than in 2021 (683 then, 683 now), but the direction has turned: after bottoming near 632 in 2023 it has risen each year since. That recent climb is movement in the wrong direction.
Longer view
Violent crime fell about 3% a year from 2018 to 2026.

Cost burden rose 2.4 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 29.1% to 31.5% - more than the combined survey margin (±1.1pp). That reverses the previous span, which went down between the 2010-2014 and 2015-2019 surveys. That is movement in the wrong direction.
