Supplementary notes

Four categories of violent crimes were used: murder and non-negligent manslaughter; forcible rape; robbery; and aggravated assault.
Only cities with a population of at least 200,000 were considered.
Rates calculated by Statista.

Due to the FBI's transition to a new crime reporting system, only 15,726 of 18,888 participating law enforcement agencies submitted crime data to the FBI for 2022. As a result, figures may not accurately reflect the total number of crimes.
