About these categories

Homicide, robbery, burglary, theft and vehicle theft come from the same reports Springfield 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 (32nd highest rate of 155), robbery (6th highest rate of 152) and burglary (44th highest rate of 168).

Common questions

answered with the data above
Is Springfield safe?

By reported violent crime, Springfield is well above the average of the 302 cities and county areas on this site: 932 violent crimes per 100,000 residents per year over the 12 months to June 2026, +8% 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 Springfield?

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

What is the crime rate in Springfield?

932 violent and 2,422 property crimes per 100,000 residents per year, based on 5,179 incidents reported to Springfield Police Department over the 12 months to June 2026. Violent crime includes 317 robberies (property taken by force or threat); property crime includes 504 burglaries, 832 thefts from vehicles and 1,707 other thefts.

Is crime in Springfield going up or down?

It is going up: violent crime +8% and property crime −11% over the last 12 months compared with the 12 months before.

How many homicides has Springfield had in 2026?

Springfield Police Department reported 3 homicides from January to June 2026, the latest month it has reported in full, against 10 in the same months of 2025. Over the 12 months to Jun 2026 the count was 10, or 6 per 100,000 residents.

Where does the data come from?

From Springfield Police Department, via FBI Crime Data Explorer (dataset MA0071800). 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 Springfield

RobberyTaking property by force or threat317205
BurglaryEntering a home or business to steal504326
Theft from vehiclesItems or parts taken from a vehicle, break-ins included832539
Vehicle theft662429

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.
