Indiana Crime Trends

FBI UCR Trends Snapshot: Indiana

Indiana reported 21,360 violent crimes and 91,473 property crimes in 2024, drawing 11 years of history (2014–2024) from FBI Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Program submissions. Over that window the statewide violent crime rate moved from 334.1 per 100,000 residents in 2014 to 308.5 per 100,000 in 2024 — a decline of 7.7%. The property crime rate shifted from 2369.9/100K to 1321/100K over the same period, down 44.3%.

Within the latest year's violent crime total, aggravated assault (0), robbery (0), murder and non-negligent manslaughter (0), and rape (0) make up the four Part I offense categories tracked by the FBI. Property crime in 2024 splits across larceny-theft (0), burglary (0), motor vehicle theft (0), and arson (0). Against the US national average of 70.6/100K for 2024, Indiana's violent crime rate runs 337% above the national benchmark.

Over the same 11-year span, the US national violent crime rate moved down 3.9% (73.5/100K in 2014 to 70.6/100K in 2024), providing a direct comparison against Indiana's -7.7% move. UCR figures reflect offenses reported to and submitted by local law enforcement; agency participation is voluntary, so year-to-year completeness can shift, and the FBI periodically restates prior-year figures as late submissions arrive. The full year-by-year table below shows population, violent and property crime counts, rates, and a sub-breakdown for murder, robbery, and burglary — enabling granular inspection of Indiana's multi-year crime trajectory.
