These are the component offenses. They are part of the violent crime and property crime categories above, not additional to them, and we do not add them together to build those categories: which offense rolls up into which is the FBI’s definition. A cleared offense is one the FBI records as closed by arrest or by exceptional means. It is not a conviction.

A year with fewer than twelve reported months is kept and flagged rather than dropped, and its rate carries the month count in the cell: it is that many months of offenses over a full year’s population, so it is not an annual rate. Coverage moves as agencies join and leave the programme, so part of any change in the rate is a change in who reported — particularly across 2021, when the FBI retired the Summary Reporting System.

What this page cannot show

Offenses reported to and recorded by police in Oregon, then submitted to the FBI. Crime not reported to police is not here.
Reporting is voluntary and coverage differs by year, so a change in a count can be a change in how many agencies submitted.
Rates use the FBI’s population estimate for the reporting agencies, not the state’s full resident population. Where coverage is below 100%, the rate describes the covered population.
Nothing here explains why a figure moved. The record is what was reported.
