Data as of 2025 (FBI estimate), checked October 30, 2026. How we got these numbers
The FBI estimates 377.9 violent crimes per 100,000 Arizona residents in 2025, 1.2 times the US rate of 327.6. Its property crime estimate, 1,513.5 per 100,000, was just below the national 1,534.8. Violent crime fell 11.2% from 2021, when the state rate was 425.6, while the US rate went from 387.0 to 327.6.
Property crime dropped 28.4% in those years, and burglary 40.2%. Murder fell 32.8% from 2021 to 2025, to 4.5 per 100,000. On average, agencies covering 98% of Arizona's population reported each month in 2025 (lowest month: 95%).
The state figures are estimates: the FBI fills in for agencies that did not send every month, while the city pages listed here use only what each police department reported.
