Is Oklahoma City safe?
We don't rate cities as safe or unsafe. What the FBI's numbers show: in 2025 the violent crime rate the Oklahoma City Police Department reported, 681.7 per 100,000 residents, was higher than Oklahoma's 407.7, and higher than the US rate of 327.6 (FBI estimates). It fell 0.7% 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.
The violent crime rate in 2025 was 681.7 per 100,000 residents covered by the Oklahoma City Police Department, from 4,912 offenses reported to the FBI.

Property crime, 2,660.2 per 100,000, was 1.5 times the state figure of 1,813.5 and 1.7 times the national 1,534.8.
Violent crime fell 0.7% from 2024 to 2025. That still leaves violent crime 4.7% above its 2021 rate of 651.4. Aggravated assault rose the most of the violent offenses in both periods: 14.2% from 2021 and 4.7% from 2024.
