Aggravated assault rate is based on the population covered by the agencies from whom the FBI collected the data from.
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.
