How Chicago compares with other cities

In 2025 the FBI counted 420 violent crimes per 100,000 residents in Chicago (Illinois: 258, United States: 329).

Property crimes: 2,956 per 100,000 residents (Illinois: 1,556, United States: 1,552).

The FBI counts offenses differently from the city data behind the levels, so the totals do not match exactly.

How to read this

It shows crime reported to the police. Many crimes are never reported.
Levels compare areas within Chicago. The same level in another city does not mean the same.
It is not a prediction, and it says nothing about any person or building.
Please do not use it for decisions about housing, lending, insurance or employment.

Locations are shifted to the block level by the Chicago Police Department to protect privacy.
