Idaho violent and property crime

217.3 per 100,000

Violent crimes per 100,000 residents in Idaho, 2025 (estimate)

−13.3 per 100,000 since 2024 (230.6); −0.1 per 100,000 since 2015 (217.4); −39.5 per 100,000 since 2005 (256.8)

Source: Federal Bureau of Investigation, Uniform Crime Reporting, Violent crime rate (computed by Understand Idaho). Data period 2025. Status: estimate. Published .

Violent crimes known to law enforcement divided by the FBI's own population estimate for the reporting jurisdictions that year, times 100,000. Both figures come from the same row of the FBI's estimated-crime file; this is the definition the FBI's own published rates use.

Change and comparison

From 1979 (288.7) to 2025 (217.3), the change was −71.4 per 100,000.

Over the most recent 5 years, 2020 (242.6) to 2025 (217.3), the change was −25.3 per 100,000.

The series high is 322 per 100,000 in 1995 and the low is 202.2 per 100,000 in 2011.

Among 50 states and the District of Columbia, Idaho ranked 41st highest in 2025. The District of Columbia was highest at 803 per 100,000 and Maine lowest at 93.2 per 100,000.

Among Idaho and its 6 neighboring states, Idaho ranks 6th highest; Utah is next above at 235.7 per 100,000 and Wyoming next below at 179.9 per 100,000.

Violent crimes by offense

This breakdown is from Federal Bureau of Investigation, Uniform Crime Reporting, on a different basis than the headline figure above. Estimated violent crime offenses known to law enforcement, by offense: murder and nonnegligent manslaughter, rape, robbery, or aggravated assault. Rape is labeled by whichever definition the FBI used that year (legacy through 2012, revised from 2013 on); the two are not comparable across that boundary.

  • 2024 and 2025 figures are FBI estimates, not final; the long-run series is revised in later releases.
  • The FBI revised its definition of rape in 2013. The by-type breakdown stores one rape category per year, labeled "Rape (revised definition)" for 2013 onward and "Rape (legacy definition)" for 1979-2012; 2013-2016 rows have both figures published, and this dataset keeps the revised one, consistent with the FBI's own violent-crime totals for those years. The two definitions are not comparable across the 2013 boundary.
  • The FBI's 2021 transition to NIBRS-only collection lowered participation, so 2022-2025 estimates mix NIBRS and Summary Reporting System (SRS) submissions from agencies that had not yet transitioned. For 1996-2002, some state and local agencies' figures are the FBI's own estimate from that agency's prior-year total and that year's regional crime trend, for agencies that could not provide complete data.
  • The FBI's long-run estimated-crime file has no United States row for 2017-2020, though state rows and a District of Columbia row are present. No national figure is stored for those four years; Understand Idaho does not sum the states to create one.
  • Puerto Rico is excluded; the District of Columbia is included as its own geography.
  • For 2014 and 2024, violent crime and property crime offense counts come from that year's own "Crime in the United States" Table 5 report, not the long-run estimated-crime file. The long-run file gives a different figure for nearly every state in both years: a difference in revision basis between the annual report snapshot and the FBI's separately, continuously revised long-run series, not an error. Idaho's and the nation's alternate figures for those years are recorded below as disagreements, rather than listing every state. The offense-by-type breakdowns, by contrast, come from the long-run file for every year including 2014 and 2024, so they will not sum to this dataset's own Table 5 totals for those two years.
  • The UCR reporting population is the FBI's own population estimate for the jurisdictions reporting in that year, the denominator the FBI's own published crime rates use. It is not the Census Bureau's population estimate and will not match it.
  • Violent and property crime rates per 100,000 population are not published for every year in the FBI's sources used here. Understand Idaho computes both rates for every year from the offense counts and the UCR reporting population above, and labels them as computed with both inputs cited. Table 5's own 2014 and 2024 rates, printed directly by the FBI, are kept below as disagreements rather than discarded.
  • Understand Idaho instead computes the violent crime rate from the violent crime offense count and the UCR reporting population, both from the FBI's long-run estimated-crime file, which disagrees with Table 5's own 2014 count for Idaho (see the violent crime offenses disagreement above). The computed rate differs from Table 5's printed rate for the same reason.

Property crimes by offense

This breakdown is from Federal Bureau of Investigation, Uniform Crime Reporting, on a different basis than the headline figure above. Estimated property crime offenses known to law enforcement, by offense: burglary, larceny-theft, or motor vehicle theft.

Violent crime rate (computed by Understand Idaho)

Caveats

  • Computed by Understand Idaho from Crime in the United States, by State (Table 5) and Estimated Crime Data, 1979-2025; it is not a figure the publisher releases.

Where sources disagree

  • Violent crime offenses (FBI estimate), Idaho, 2014: FBI Uniform Crime Reporting Program, Estimated Crime Data, 1979-2025 publishes 3,439. This dataset's 2014 Idaho violent crime count (3,468) is from "Crime in the United States, 2014" Table 5. The FBI's long-run estimated-crime file gives 3,439 for the same state and year, 29 fewer. The two disagree by a similar small amount for nearly every state in 2014 and 2024; see the dataset caveats.
  • Violent crime offenses (FBI estimate), Idaho, 2024: FBI Uniform Crime Reporting Program, Estimated Crime Data, 1979-2025 publishes 4,717. This dataset's 2024 Idaho violent crime count (4,616) is from "Crime in the United States, 2024" Table 5. The FBI's long-run estimated-crime file gives 4,717 for the same state and year, 101 more.
  • Violent crime offenses (FBI estimate), United States, 2014: FBI Uniform Crime Reporting Program, Estimated Crime Data, 1979-2025 publishes 1.15 million. This dataset's 2014 national violent crime count (1,165,383) is from "Crime in the United States, 2014" Table 1. The FBI's long-run estimated-crime file gives 1,153,022 for the same year, 12,361 fewer.
  • Violent crime offenses (FBI estimate), United States, 2024: FBI Uniform Crime Reporting Program, Estimated Crime Data, 1979-2025 publishes 1.23 million. This dataset's 2024 national violent crime count (1,221,345) is from "Crime in the United States, 2024" Table 2. The FBI's long-run estimated-crime file gives 1,234,163 for the same year, 12,818 more. The two sources' 2024 national property crime counts, unlike every other pairing checked here, agree at 5,989,723.
  • Violent crime rate, Idaho, 2024: Federal Bureau of Investigation, Crime in the United States, 2024, Table 5 publishes 230.6 per 100,000. Understand Idaho instead computes the violent crime rate from the violent crime offense count and the UCR reporting population, both from the FBI's long-run estimated-crime file, which carries later revisions than Table 5's 2024 snapshot.
  • Violent crime rate, United States, 2014: Federal Bureau of Investigation, Crime in the United States, 2014, Table 1 publishes 365.5 per 100,000. Understand Idaho instead computes the violent crime rate from the violent crime offense count and the UCR reporting population, both from the FBI's long-run estimated-crime file, which carries later revisions than Table 1's 2014 snapshot.
  • Violent crime rate, United States, 2024: Federal Bureau of Investigation, Crime in the United States, 2024, Table 2 publishes 359.1 per 100,000. Understand Idaho instead computes the violent crime rate from the violent crime offense count and the UCR reporting population, both from the FBI's long-run estimated-crime file, which disagrees with Table 2's own 2024 national count (see the violent crime offenses disagreement above).
