Property Crime Rates by City (2023)

Cities ranked by per-capita property crime rate — including burglary, larceny-theft, and motor vehicle theft. The national average property crime rate is 1,832 per 100,000 residents.

Property crime vs violent crime: Property crime is far more common than violent crime but less likely to cause physical harm. It includes burglary (unlawful entry), larceny-theft (e.g., shoplifting, pickpocketing), and motor vehicle theft. Understanding property crime rates separately helps you assess the actual risks in a city rather than conflating all crime types.
