Composite safety index, 51 states + DC, 2020-2025 source coverage. Top five (safest): Vermont (90), New Hampshire (88), Maine (85), Idaho (82), Rhode Island (80). Bottom five: New Mexico (39), Alaska (38), Louisiana (42), Arkansas (45), Mississippi (50). Population-adjusted on a log-10 curve.
Which states got safer and which got worse from 2024 to 2025. The seven biggest moves each way.
The Vermont statehouse reporter has thirty minutes before the 6 p.m. budget meeting. The story is whether last session's bill moved the needle on assault rates. She needs a one-page state brief her editor will let her cite by URL.
What kinds of crime drive each state's score. Pick a state to see its mix. Six groups are shown here; all 18 are in every Excel file.
We compare states across all 18 offense types and find the most alike. Relocation teams use it to suggest similar markets when a client is priced out.
Janet runs the relocation desk at a brokerage in Austin. For ten years, every buyer asked about crime and she said the same thing: "I can't legally answer that." In April HUD said she could. She needs an answer she can read in two minutes and a methodology page she can link to without losing the next listing.
Striped states are where fewer than 80% of agencies reported. We don't fill the gap with guesses — we show you exactly where it is.
NIBRS adoption is uneven. Some states report at 99%+, others below 60%. Every visualization on this page is gated to states meeting our 80% threshold; the rest are flagged, not estimated.
This is the disclosure most aggregators skip. We publish it under the hero.
No black box. Pick a state and watch the numbers add up. The public method summary lives at /methodology.

Read Guide →A P&C underwriter at a mid-size carrier is reviewing territorial risk. The crime-risk vendor she has been using will not explain its sources or limitations. She needs a crime score with source notes, coverage notes, and a documented audit path before anyone can rely on it.
Each dot is a reporting agency. More dots means we can go deeper into county and city detail without guessing.
Normal maps make big states look more important. This one gives every state the same size, so small states stop hiding.
