Violent Crime Rate by U.S. state in 2020 (per 100,000 residents) according to the FBI's Uniform Crime Reports

This is a list of U.S. states and territories by violent crime rate as of 2020. It is typically expressed in units of incidents per 100,000 individuals per year; thus, a violent crime rate of 300 (per 100,000 inhabitants) in a population of 100,000 would mean 300 incidents of violent crime per year in that entire population, or 0.3% out of the total. These data have been taken from the FBI's Uniform Crime Reports.[1][2]

In the United States, violent crime consists of five types of criminal offenses: murder and non-negligent manslaughter, rape, robbery, aggravated assault, and gang violence.[1]
