US County Crime Data: FBI UCR Statistics for All 3,100+ Counties

CrimeByCounty provides detailed violent crime and property crime statistics for every county in the United States, sourced directly from the FBI Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) program. Whether you are relocating, buying a home, or researching public safety, our county-level data gives you the most granular view of crime trends available from any free public resource.

We cover all 3,143 US counties and county-equivalents across all 50 states. Each county page includes violent crime rates (murder, assault, robbery, rape) and property crime rates (burglary, larceny, motor vehicle theft) per 100,000 residents, the standard normalization used by the FBI and criminologists to compare counties of different sizes fairly.

Our composite safety score (0–100) translates raw crime rates into an easy-to-read grade. A score above 70 indicates a below-average crime environment; below 40 signals elevated risk. Use the search above to find any county instantly, or browse by state to compare all counties within a region.

Frequently Asked Questions

What county in America has the highest crime rate?

Based on FBI Uniform Crime Reporting data, counties with the highest violent crime rates tend to be in urban and economically distressed areas. St. Louis City, Missouri, and Alexander County, Illinois consistently rank among the most dangerous counties in America, with violent crime rates several times the national average of approximately 380 incidents per 100,000 people.

What is the safest county in the United States?

The safest counties in the US are typically affluent suburban counties with low population density. Counties such as Loving County, Texas, Borden County, Texas, and several counties in New England consistently record near-zero violent crime rates. Our safety score of 100/100 reflects the very lowest crime environments.

How are county safety scores calculated?

CrimeByCounty safety scores (0–100) are calculated from FBI UCR violent crime rates and property crime rates, both normalized per 100,000 residents. A score of 100 represents the safest counties in the nation; a score of 0 represents the most dangerous. Scores weight violent crime more heavily than property crime given its greater personal impact.

What data sources does CrimeByCounty use?

All crime data is sourced from the FBI Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) program and the FBI Crime Data Explorer API, which aggregates crime statistics reported by over 18,000 law enforcement agencies nationwide. CrimeByCounty covers all 3,100+ US counties and county-equivalents across all 50 states.
