This is the second set of 2025 state crime charts built from the FBI's estimates, after the first post on violent crime, murder, property crime and car theft. It covers the five offenses that make up the rest of the FBI's main crime categories: burglary, robbery, rape, aggravated assault and larceny-theft. Every one of them fell nationally in 2025, but by very different amounts.
Burglary: highest in New Mexico
New Mexico had the highest burglary rate at 404.9 per 100,000 residents, followed by Oklahoma at 365.3 and Louisiana at 326.2, according to the burglary rate chart. New Hampshire was lowest at 51.4. The District of Columbia, which leads most crime rankings, placed 21st at 193.6, exactly the national rate. Burglaries fell from 785,533 to 661,800 nationally, 15.8 per cent.
Robbery: the District of Columbia stands apart
The robbery rate chart puts the District of Columbia at 347.0 per 100,000, 7.0 times the national rate of 49.4. California (94.9) and New York (90.9) come next, and Idaho is lowest at 5.6. Robberies fell 18.5 per cent, the biggest drop of the five offenses.
Rape and aggravated assault fell the least
Alaska leads both the rape rate chart, at 118.8 per 100,000, 3.3 times the national rate, and the aggravated assault chart, at 520.6. Rapes fell only 7.6 per cent and aggravated assaults 7.2 per cent, and aggravated assault rose in 8 states. It is also the largest part of violent crime, 72.6 per cent of the national total.
Theft is the most common crime
The theft rate chart counts 3,910,502 larceny-thefts in 2025, down 9.8 per cent. The District of Columbia had the highest rate at 2,264.8, followed by Oregon at 1,655.8 and Colorado at 1,565.9; Idaho was lowest at 463.5.

| Aggravated assault | Alaska | 520.6 | Maine | 53.2 |
| Larceny-theft | District of Columbia | 2,264.8 | Idaho | 463.5 |
About the numbers
All five charts use the FBI's estimated totals, which fill in for police agencies that did not report, divided by each state's population. In the 36 states and the District of Columbia where reporting agencies covered at least 95 per cent of residents, the FBI's reported rates came within 10 per cent of the estimates for every offense. All five count only crimes known to police, which matters most for rape and small thefts, where many offenses go unreported.
