Definitions and comparison limits
  1. These indicators share internal labels. Police definitions do not match, so the order is not a single crime score.
  2. The five-indicator list includes only cities that publish all five for the latest full year. A missing indicator is left out. It is not counted as zero.
  3. Toronto theft over starts at $5,000. Chicago keeps theft descriptions that state over $300 or over $500. New York grand larceny starts over $1,000. Los Angeles grand theft follows California’s $950.01 felony threshold.
  4. Chicago assault includes battery. Austin assault is aggravated assault only. Calgary assault excludes domestic incidents. New York assault is felony assault plus assault in the third degree.
  5. Los Angeles assault, burglary, and robbery switch to NIBRS in March 2024. Auto theft and grand theft switch in 2025. A change that crosses that break is marked.
  6. 2026 year-to-date is left out. A change runs from the first full year that city publishes, and a missing year inside the series is named. US rates use Census city estimates that change base in 2020, except Las Vegas, which uses the 2020 population inside LVMPD area commands. Canadian city rates use Statistics Canada population estimates.
