Violent and property crime by state
Estimated violent-crime and property-crime offense counts and rates per 100,000 population for the nation, the District of Columbia, and all 50 states, for the newest year the FBI's traditional state-by-state crime table is available (2024) and a decade earlier (2014), for interstate comparison with Idaho. These are FBI Uniform Crime Reporting estimates, not the same collection system or offense definitions as Idaho State Police's Group A NIBRS totals in the isp-crime-in-idaho dataset.

Caveats
- The FBI's Crime Data Explorer (cde.ucr.cjis.gov) only exposes state-level estimates through its interactive web app or a REST API gated by an api.data.gov key not available to this puller; the CDE's own advertised static bulk-download bucket (from the retired 18F crime-data-frontend project) is dead and only ever covered 1995-2016 with no state rate column. This dataset instead uses the FBI's traditional 'Crime in the United States' (CIUS) Table 5 for 2014 (fetched directly from ucr.fbi.gov) and 2024 (fetched from a justfacts.com mirror of the identical DOJ/FBI document, because the FBI's own current hosts for it are either JavaScript-only or return a bot-detection challenge to non-browser clients).
- 2024 figures are FBI estimates released Summer 2025; 2024 national and Idaho figures were not yet final as of that release.
- In 2013 the FBI's UCR Program revised its definition of rape; the 2014 violent-crime totals and rates use the revised definition, matching the FBI's own headline 2014 total, though the source table also carries a legacy-definition rape column not used here.
- On January 1, 2021 the FBI's UCR Program transitioned to NIBRS-only collection; participation in 2021 fell below the FBI's own bar for national representativeness, and 2022-2024 estimates rely on a mix of NIBRS and Summary Reporting System (SRS) submissions from agencies that had not transitioned. This break in reporting basis sits between the two years in this dataset (2014 and 2024) and affects comparability of the trend, though not the cross-sectional state comparison within either year.
- The 2014 Table 5 workbook is a legacy Excel 97-2003 (BIFF8/OLE2) file; openpyxl cannot open that format (it reads only OOXML .xlsx), so this puller reads it with xlrd, the standard library for the legacy format.
- Puerto Rico is excluded (not a geography in data/geographies.json); the District of Columbia is included as its own geography.
