SaferHigher rateViolent crimes per 100,000 residents per year, for each whole city. The colors are not crime locations.

The FBI publishes citywide totals from Chandler Police Department, not where each crime happened, so this map fills Chandler and the 7 covered cities around it with each one’s whole-city rate instead of plotting crimes.

Of the 8 covered cities nearest Chandler, 7 have a higher violent crime rate and 1 a lower one. The closest is Gilbert, AZ, 7 miles away.

About the colors and distances

About these categories

The FBI publishes city totals by family, not a full breakdown by offence, so homicide is the only type Chandler Police Department reports separately here. Red means more than before, green means fewer. “Not yet” means the site does not have that month from a year earlier.

Common questions

answered with the data above
Is Chandler safe?

By reported violent crime, Chandler is well below the average of the 302 cities and county areas on this site: 111 violent crimes per 100,000 residents per year over the 12 months to August 2026, −12% versus the previous 12 months. Safety varies a lot by neighborhood, so the citywide figure is only a starting point.

Is there a crime map for Chandler?

This site does not have one for Chandler. The figures on this page come from the FBI, which receives city totals rather than locations, so CurrentCrimeMap shows how Chandler compares with nearby places such as Gilbert, AZ instead of a street-level map.

What is the crime rate in Chandler?

111 violent and 1,116 property crimes per 100,000 residents per year, based on 3,463 incidents reported to Chandler Police Department over the 12 months to August 2026.

Is crime in Chandler going up or down?

It is going down: violent crime −12% and property crime −16% over the last 12 months compared with the 12 months before.

How many homicides has Chandler had in 2026?

Chandler Police Department reported 1 homicide from January to August 2026, the latest month it has reported in full, against 5 in the same months of 2025. Over the 12 months to Aug 2026 the count was 1, or 0 per 100,000 residents.

Where does the data come from?

From Chandler Police Department, via FBI Crime Data Explorer (dataset AZ0070500). We count reported incidents by month and offense type and divide by the Census population. Reported crime undercounts actual crime; see the methodology page for what the numbers leave out.

Moving to or visiting Chandler

12 months to August 2026

What these numbers leave out: most crime never reaches the police. In the federal victim survey (BJS, 2024), about half of violent crimes and less than a third of property crimes were reported, and only a quarter of everyday thefts. Rates are per resident, so busy downtowns and tourist areas look worse than they are for the people who visit them.

The official source is FBI Crime Data Explorer. For what to look for, and what not to read into a rate, see how to read US crime numbers.
