{"chart":{"slug":"burglary-rate-by-state","title":"Which states have the most burglaries?","takeaway":"In 2025 New Mexico had the highest burglary rate, about 415 per 100,000 people, followed by Oklahoma (368), Washington (319) and Nevada (318). New Hampshire (52), Maine (80) and Connecticut (82) had the lowest; the U.S. rate was about 195. Rates count only the police agencies that reported to the FBI; in 2025 those covered only about 80 to 85% of residents in a few states, such as Florida and Mississippi. Since 2021, when the FBI began taking only its newer NIBRS reports, state rates don't line up exactly with earlier years.","topic":"Crime","chart_type":"bar","ranking":true,"x_label":"State","y_label":"Burglaries per 100,000 people","unit":null,"points_count":52,"source":{"name":"FBI Crime Data Explorer, Uniform Crime Reporting Program","url":"https://cde.ucr.cjis.gov/LATEST/webapp/#/pages/explorer/crime/crime-trend"},"license":{"name":"Public domain (U.S. government work); source FBI Uniform Crime Reporting Program","url":"https://www.usa.gov/government-copyright"},"data_as_of":"2025-12-31","updated_at":"2026-10-17T18:50:40.529Z","url":"https://chart.ly/charts/burglary-rate-by-state","api_url":"https://chart.ly/api/v1/charts/burglary-rate-by-state","csv_url":"https://chart.ly/charts/burglary-rate-by-state/data.csv","image_url":"https://chart.ly/charts/burglary-rate-by-state/image.png","embed_url":"https://chart.ly/charts/burglary-rate-by-state/embed","credit":"FBI Crime Data Explorer, Uniform Crime Reporting Program, via Chartly (https://chart.ly/charts/burglary-rate-by-state)","credit_html":"FBI Crime Data Explorer, Uniform Crime Reporting Program, via \u003ca href=\"https://chart.ly/charts/burglary-rate-by-state\"\u003eChartly\u003c/a\u003e","average_label":"U.S. overall","zero_axis":true,"data":[{"label":"New Mexico","value":415.4},{"label":"Oklahoma","value":367.7},{"label":"Washington","value":318.5},{"label":"Nevada","value":318.1},{"label":"Louisiana","value":306.2},{"label":"North Carolina","value":299.2},{"label":"Kansas","value":289.8},{"label":"Colorado","value":288.8},{"label":"Arkansas","value":286.0},{"label":"California","value":279.6},{"label":"Alaska","value":252.8},{"label":"Oregon","value":252.5},{"label":"Texas","value":250.2},{"label":"South Carolina","value":242.8},{"label":"Mississippi","value":235.2},{"label":"Missouri","value":228.2},{"label":"Hawaii","value":220.0},{"label":"Alabama","value":219.0},{"label":"Tennessee","value":207.0},{"label":"North Dakota","value":206.6},{"label":"District of Columbia","value":195.5},{"label":"U.S. overall","value":195.0},{"label":"Ohio","value":194.4},{"label":"Iowa","value":173.2},{"label":"Arizona","value":172.2},{"label":"Kentucky","value":169.4},{"label":"Maryland","value":167.8},{"label":"South Dakota","value":167.1},{"label":"Illinois","value":163.1},{"label":"Minnesota","value":161.5},{"label":"Michigan","value":160.3},{"label":"Georgia","value":159.6},{"label":"Delaware","value":156.9},{"label":"Indiana","value":156.3},{"label":"West Virginia","value":155.2},{"label":"Wyoming","value":144.5},{"label":"Montana","value":133.2},{"label":"Utah","value":121.4},{"label":"New York","value":121.3},{"label":"Florida","value":120.8},{"label":"Nebraska","value":120.8},{"label":"New Jersey","value":119.8},{"label":"Massachusetts","value":111.9},{"label":"Pennsylvania","value":107.4},{"label":"Wisconsin","value":98.7},{"label":"Vermont","value":94.4},{"label":"Idaho","value":90.5},{"label":"Virginia","value":88.1},{"label":"Rhode Island","value":85.8},{"label":"Connecticut","value":82.3},{"label":"Maine","value":79.7},{"label":"New Hampshire","value":51.6}],"annotations":[]},"docs":"https://chart.ly/developers","terms":"Free to use with credit: wherever you show or quote a chart's data, name Chartly with a link to that chart's url (each chart's credit line does both) and credit its source as its license asks.","credit":"FBI Crime Data Explorer, Uniform Crime Reporting Program, via Chartly (https://chart.ly/charts/burglary-rate-by-state)"}
