The table below provides the
rank of each State's reported rate of crime as compared to the 50
States and the District of Columbia. 1 = the highest reported
crime rate and 51 = the lowest. Going from one year to the next a
higher number means, that compared to other States, the relative crime
rate is increasing and a lower number means that the relative level of
crime is decreasing. The Index category represents the total
number of crimes, and since most crimes involve property crime it is
weighted towards these types of crime.
