New York State had an estimated 368.4 violent crimes per 100,000 residents in 2025, 1.1 times the US rate of 327.6, in the FBI's figures. Its property crime estimate, 1,574.8, was above the national 1,534.8. The US rate went from 387.0 to 327.6 between 2021 and 2025, while the state's violent crime rate rose 19.5%.
In the last year the state rate fell 5.3%. Property crime rose 50.3% from 2021, driven by larceny-theft, up 68.1% to 1,326.8 per 100,000. Murder fell 45.5% in the same years, to 2.4 per 100,000.
On average, agencies covering 99% of New York's population reported each month in 2025 (lowest month: 99%). These are FBI estimates for the whole state; each city page uses only its own police department's reports.
