How the rate is computed

Rate denominator: the population the reporting agencies served, which is the FBI’s own population figure for the state multiplied by the share of it those agencies covered. It is not the state’s resident population, and it is the same denominator the FBI uses to compute its own rates. The coverage column is that share; a state below 90% is not measuring the same thing as a state near 100%.

How to read this

  • Rates, not counts. Ranking by the number of offenses would rank states by how many people live in them.
  • The thinnest rate here rests on 52 offenses, in Wyoming. One more would move that state’s rate by 1.9%, so the bottom of a ranking built on counts that small is a statement about how few were reported rather than about how they compare.
  • The coverage column is the share of the state’s population living in a reporting agency’s jurisdiction. Below 90%, both the count and the rate describe part of the state, and a state sits where it does partly because fewer of its agencies reported.
  • The District of Columbia is a single city and is ranked alongside states because the FBI reports it that way. Comparing a city with a state mixes urban and rural populations in a proportion no state has.
  • A jurisdiction that reported no robbery rate for 2025 is not listed. An absent row means the FBI published no rate, not a rate of zero.
  • Reporting to the FBI is voluntary. A state lower on this list may be one where less was reported to police, not one where less happened, and this data cannot tell those apart.
  • This offense is part of the violent crime total and is not additional to it.
