Is Ann Arbor safe?
We don't rate cities as safe or unsafe. What the FBI's numbers show: in 2025 the violent crime rate the Ann Arbor Police Department reported, 297.4 per 100,000 residents, was lower than Michigan's 416.2, and lower than the US rate of 327.6 (FBI estimates). It fell 4.4% 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.
Ann Arbor's violent crime rate in 2025 was below both the Michigan estimate and the US rate: 297.4 per 100,000 residents covered by the Ann Arbor Police Department, against 416.2 and 327.6. The rate rests on 365 offenses reported to the FBI. Property crime was above both figures, at 1,706.9 per 100,000 against the state's 1,258.5 and the national 1,534.8.
Violent crime fell 4.4% in the last year. It was 1.0% higher than in 2021. Robbery rose 56.7% from 2024 and 27.2% from 2021, to 31.8 per 100,000.
Rape fell 22.2% since 2021, and aggravated assault made up 74% of violent crime. The department recorded 2 homicides in 2025, a rate of 1.6 per 100,000; the murder counts for 2022, 2023 and 2024 are flagged as unusual changes, so the violent offenses are not ranked. Property crime is 17.8% higher than in 2021.
It edged down 2.2% from 2024. Larceny-theft, 86% of property crime, rose 21.9% from 2021 and was 1.6 times the state rate. Burglary fell the most of the property offenses since 2021, 11.3%.
Motor vehicle theft, at 74.1, was 0.4 times the US rate. All 12 months were sent in each of the 5 years shown; NIBRS reporting began in 2003. The Washtenaw County Sheriff's Office and University of Michigan police report separately.
