How safe is Oklahoma? FBI UCR data snapshot
Oklahoma (OK) reported 17,526 violent crimes and 82,247 property crimes in 2024, based on FBI Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Program submissions from 481 law enforcement agencies. That translates to a statewide violent crime rate of 427.9 per 100,000 residents and a property crime rate of 2008.3 per 100,000 against a reporting population of 4,095,393. The PlainCrime dataset indexes 300 Oklahoma cities and 77 counties, each with their own detail pages and local crime figures drawn from FBI UCR Tables 8 and 10.
The FBI's state-level summary reports violent and property crime as aggregate totals rather than broken out by individual offense type (murder, rape, robbery, assault, burglary, larceny, motor vehicle theft, arson). For an offense-by-offense breakdown, see the individual city and county pages for Oklahoma below, which draw on FBI UCR Tables 8 and 10 and do report each offense type separately.
Across 11 years of state-level UCR history (2014–2024), the violent crime rate moved from 413.6 to 427.9 per 100,000, a rise of 3.5%. City-level detail pages within Oklahoma include safety grades (A+ to F), benchmarks against national averages, per-capita risk estimates, and multi-year trend tables for users comparing specific jurisdictions. All figures above are drawn from FBI UCR 2024 submissions; reporting completeness varies by agency, and the FBI periodically restates prior-year figures as late submissions arrive.
