Rates are mapped police open-data incidents per 100,000 residents (US Census Bureau 2024 population estimates) for 2025. Only cities whose data covers all 12 months of 2025 are ranked, and only when the feed includes assaults and thefts or burglaries with at most 60% of records uncategorized and is not mostly 911 calls for service (calls are reports of possible crimes, not confirmed incidents). Departments publish different offense sets, so rates are not official crime rates; see how we measure.
