States Where Property Crime Fell the Most, 2015-2025
About This Dataset
States Where Property Crime Fell the Most, 2015-2025How the data is collected. Property crime here is the sum of burglary, larceny-theft and motor vehicle theft in the FBI's estimated crime file; arson is not included in the estimates. The chart compares each state's rate in 2025 with its own rate in 2015.
Background. The FBI counts property crime as offenses whose object is taking money or property without force or threat of force against the victim. The estimated number fell from 8,024,115 in 2015 to 5,245,768 in 2025.
Limits. Property crime is dominated by larceny-theft, so this chart mostly tracks thefts, many of which are never reported to police. States where fewer police agencies reported in 2025 than in 2015, such as Florida and Louisiana, rely more on FBI estimates in the later year.
Property crime fell in all 51 places over the decade, but by very different amounts: Idaho's rate dropped by 65.4 per cent while Vermont's fell by only 2.0 per cent. 26 places saw falls of at least 40 per cent.
