Common questions

answered with the table above
Which U.S. city has the highest burglary rate?
Among the 168 cities and county areas on this site with at least 100,000 residents, Seattle, WA: 979 burglaries per 100,000 residents in the 12 months to Jul 2026, from what the Seattle Police Department reports to the FBI. The median is 186, so that is 5.3 times the median. The lowest is Pembroke Pines, FL, at 25.
Which city has the most burglaries?
By count rather than rate, New York, NY: 11,574 in the 12 months to Jul 2026. Big cities lead on counts because they have more people; the rate per 100,000 residents is what puts a city of 150,000 and one of 3 million on the same footing.
Are burglaries going down?
In 114 of these cities and county areas with every month through Jul 2026, 121,613 burglaries in Aug 2025 to Jul 2026 against 144,337 in the 12 months before (−16%). Across all 114 ranked places with both years, burglaries fell in 99 and rose in 13.
Is breaking into a car a burglary?
Not in these figures. Under the FBI’s national standard (NIBRS), breaking into a car to steal from it is theft from a motor vehicle (code 23F), and taking parts is 23G. Burglary is entering a home, business or other structure.
