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

Of the 8 covered cities nearest Gresham, 6 have a higher violent crime rate and 2 a lower one. The closest is Portland, OR, 10 miles away.

About these categories

Homicide, robbery, burglary, theft and vehicle theft come from the same reports Gresham Police Department sends the FBI. Theft from vehicles is NIBRS codes 23F and 23G (items and parts taken from a vehicle) and theft is the rest of larceny. Robbery is part of violent crime and the others of property crime; assault and rape count in violent crime but are not listed separately, so the rows do not add up to the totals. Red means more than before, green means fewer. “Not yet” means the site does not have that month from a year earlier.

Against other places of 100,000+ residents: vehicle theft (46th highest rate of 155), robbery (67th highest rate of 152) and burglary (53rd highest rate of 168).

Common questions

answered with the data above
Is Gresham safe?

By reported violent crime, Gresham is below the average of the 302 cities and county areas on this site: 339 violent crimes per 100,000 residents per year over the 12 months to July 2026, −11% 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 Gresham?

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

What is the crime rate in Gresham?

339 violent and 2,272 property crimes per 100,000 residents per year, based on 2,893 incidents reported to Gresham Police Department over the 12 months to July 2026. Violent crime includes 74 robberies (property taken by force or threat); property crime includes 319 burglaries, 345 thefts from vehicles and 1,458 other thefts.

Is crime in Gresham going up or down?

It is going down: violent crime −11% and property crime unchanged over the last 12 months compared with the 12 months before.

How many homicides has Gresham had in 2026?

Gresham Police Department reported 1 homicide from January to July 2026, the latest month it has reported in full, against 7 in the same months of 2025. Over the 12 months to Jul 2026 the count was 3, or 3 per 100,000 residents.

Where does the data come from?

From Gresham Police Department, via FBI Crime Data Explorer (dataset OR0260100). 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 Gresham

12 months to July 2026
What most people ask aboutReportedPer 100kvs. the 12 months before
RobberyTaking property by force or threat7467−26%
BurglaryEntering a home or business to steal319288+2%
Theft from vehiclesItems or parts taken from a vehicle, break-ins included345311−11%
Vehicle theft377340−31%

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.
