Is Anaheim safe?
We don't rate cities as safe or unsafe. What the FBI's numbers show: in 2025 the violent crime rate the Anaheim Police Department reported, 548.2 per 100,000 residents, was higher than California's 432.7, and higher than the US rate of 327.6 (FBI estimates). It fell 8.2% from 2024.
What these numbers can't tell you:
- How crime differs between neighborhoods (the FBI publishes agency totals only).
- Crimes nobody reported to the police.
- How many offenses involved visitors and commuters, who are not in the population count.
Anaheim's 1,886 violent crimes reported to the FBI in 2025 equal 548.2 per 100,000 residents covered by the Anaheim Police Department. California's estimate for the year was 432.7 and the US rate 327.6, putting the city at 1.3 times the state and 1.7 times the nation. Property crime was 1,772.8 per 100,000, below the California figure of 1,792.2, and above the US rate of 1,534.8.
Property crime has fallen 36.3% since 2022 and 20.6% since 2024. Violent crime is down 8.2% from 2024 and 1.6% from 2022, when the rate was 557.1. Burglary fell the most of the property offenses in both spans: 49.4% from 2022 and 30.7% from 2024.
Rape fell the most of the violent offenses since 2022, 26.6%. Aggravated assault had the largest rise in that group, 7.6% since 2022, and made up 78% of violent crime in 2025. There were 9 homicides in 2025, a rate of 2.6 per 100,000, against 4.1 nationally.
The 2021 numbers are flagged as not usable, because several months were sent as zero, so the trend starts in 2022. The other 4 of the 5 years shown have all 12 months, and the department has reported to NIBRS since 2021. The Orange County Sheriff's Office reports separately; its cases are not in these numbers.
