How Houston compares with other cities

In 2025 the FBI counted 884 violent crimes per 100,000 residents in Houston (Texas: 349, United States: 329).

Property crimes: 3,828 per 100,000 residents (Texas: 1,813, 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 Houston. 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.

The Houston Police Department publishes monthly and can run a few months behind, and the latest weeks are still being filled in.
Houston publishes one row per offense; offenses are combined into one incident here.
Locations are generalized to the hundred block by the Houston Police Department.
