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 Norman Police Department, not where each crime happened, so this map fills Norman and the 8 covered cities around it with each one’s whole-city rate instead of plotting crimes.

Of the 8 covered cities nearest Norman, 3 have a higher violent crime rate and 5 a lower one. The closest is Oklahoma City, OK, 18 miles away.

About these categories

Homicide, robbery, burglary, theft and vehicle theft come from the same reports Norman 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 (112th highest rate of 155), robbery (134th highest rate of 152) and burglary (69th highest rate of 168).

Common questions

answered with the data above
Is Norman safe?

By reported violent crime, Norman is well below the average of the 302 cities and county areas on this site: 239 violent crimes per 100,000 residents per year over the 12 months to May 2026, −2% 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 Norman?

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

What is the crime rate in Norman?

239 violent and 1,813 property crimes per 100,000 residents per year, based on 2,703 incidents reported to Norman Police Department over the 12 months to May 2026. Violent crime includes 24 robberies (property taken by force or threat); property crime includes 301 burglaries, 478 thefts from vehicles and 1,401 other thefts.

Is crime in Norman going up or down?

It is roughly flat: violent crime −2% and property crime −17% over the last 12 months compared with the 12 months before.

How many homicides has Norman had in 2026?

Norman Police Department reported 1 homicide from January to May 2026, the latest month it has reported in full, against 2 in the same months of 2025. Over the 12 months to May 2026 the count was 3, or 2 per 100,000 residents.

Where does the data come from?

From Norman Police Department, via FBI Crime Data Explorer (dataset OK0140200). 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.

RobberyTaking property by force or threat2418
BurglaryEntering a home or business to steal301229
Theft from vehiclesItems or parts taken from a vehicle, break-ins included478363
Vehicle theft204155

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.
