Nevada in 7 numbers
- Every major offense fell in 2025. Homicide -23% (413 to 317), motor vehicle theft -17%, burglary -13%, robbery -10%, aggravated assault and larceny -5% each.
- Almost half of all reports are property crime. 153,813 of 350,035 reports (43.9%); larceny-theft alone is 83,005 (23.7%).
- Clearances skew toward violent crime. 85% of homicides cleared vs 8% of motor vehicle thefts and 18% of larcenies (2025, reports cleared divided by reports received, reporting agencies only).
- Homicides fell by nearly a fifth. 317 reports in 2025 vs 413 in 2024 (-23%) across reporting agencies.
- The biggest volume is not violent. Simple assault (84,860) alone outweighs the entire personal-safety total (26,284, 7.5% of reports).
- Watch the monthly shape. Larceny-theft peaked in Dec (7,556) and troughed in Feb (6,153), a 1.2× swing inside a single year.
- These are reporting-agency sums. 26 of 32 agencies reported homicide in December 2025 (vs 27 in January); totals reflect who reported, not a census of crime.
Takeaways are computed from summed FBI CDE reported counts (source year 2025, 32 agencies in file). They describe reported data, not forecasts; check the methodology and coverage notes before reuse.
