Figures shown for rape only include those reported by law enforcement agencies using the revised Uniform Crime Reporting definition of rape.

Suburban areas include law enforcement agencies in cities with less than 50,000 inhabitants and county law enforcement agencies that are within a Metropolitan Statistical Area. Suburban areas exclude all metropolitan agencies associated with a principal city.
