Supplementary notes

Sufficient data for arson are not available to estimate totals for arson.
The violent crime figures include the offenses of murder, rape (legacy definition), robbery, and aggravated assault.

Due to the FBI's transition to a new crime reporting system, not all law enforcement agencies submitted crime data to the FBI for 2023. As a result, figures may not accurately reflect the total number of crimes.
