In 2023, the nationwide robbery rate in the United States was 66.5 cases per 100,000 of the population. This is a significant decrease from 1990 levels, when the robbery rate stood at 257 cases per 100,000 of the population.

(per 100,000 of the population)
Rates are the number of reported offenses per 100,000 of the population.
The FBI’s Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Program defines robbery as the taking or attempting to take anything of value from the care, custody, or control of a person or persons by force or threat of force or violence and/or by putting the victim in fear.
Due to the FBI's transition to a new crime reporting system, not all law enforcement agencies submitted data to the FBI for 2023. As a result, figures may not accurately reflect the total number of crimes.
