Is Biloxi safe?
We don't rate cities as safe or unsafe. What the FBI's numbers show: in 2025 the violent crime rate the Biloxi Police Department reported, 351.3 per 100,000 residents, was higher than Mississippi's 226.9, and higher than the US rate of 327.6 (FBI estimates). It fell 11.1% 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.
Biloxi police had 1,335 property crimes reported to the FBI in 2025, a rate of 2,791.2 per 100,000 residents covered by the Biloxi Police Department. That is 2.2 times the Mississippi estimate of 1,263.8 and 1.8 times the US rate of 1,534.8. Larceny-theft made up 91% of it, at 2.8 times the state rate.
The property rate is down 45.6% from 5,129.9 in 2021 and 16.4% from 2024. Burglary fell the most of the property offenses since 2021, 90.8%. At 121.3 per 100,000, burglary was below both the state's 231.5 and the national 193.6.
Violent crime totalled 168 offenses, or 351.3 per 100,000, which is 1.5 times the state's 226.9 and 1.1 times the US 327.6. It fell 11.1% in the last year and 10.1% since 2021. Robbery fell the most of the violent offenses in both spans, 24.2% from 2024 and 40.9% from 2021.
