About this ranking

Estimated property crimes (burglary, larceny-theft and motor vehicle theft known to law enforcement (arson is not estimated)) per 100,000 inhabitants. FBI Uniform Crime Reporting Program.

Per 100,000 inhabitants of the population the FBI uses, as published by the FBI, not Invokely population figures. FBI estimates for the whole population: agencies that did not report, or reported part of the year, are filled in by the FBI. The FBI revises earlier years in each annual release, and from 2021 the estimates are built from incident-based (NIBRS) reports. The national series has no values for 2017 to 2020 in the FBI estimates file.

Every value in the ranking comes from the same publisher and the same period, so the states are compared on one definition. Equal values share a rank.
