Minnesota crime rate

The FBI's estimate of reported crime in Minnesota, every year since 1979, with the math shown.

Violent crime · 2025

223.5 per 100,000 people

The FBI estimates 13,031 violent crimes were reported in Minnesota in 2025, for a population of 5,830,405. That works out to 223.5 for every 100,000 people. Its estimate for the whole United States that year is 327.6.

13,031 ÷ 5,830,405 × 100,000 = 223.5

Property crime · 2025

1,411.5 per 100,000 people

The FBI estimates 82,295 property crimes were reported in Minnesota in 2025, for a population of 5,830,405. That works out to 1,411.5 for every 100,000 people. Its estimate for the whole United States that year is 1,534.8.

82,295 ÷ 5,830,405 × 100,000 = 1,411.5

In 2025, 399 of Minnesota's 495 police agencies (81%) sent the FBI data. Where agencies did not report, or reported part of a year, the FBI filled in the gap by its own method, so these are the FBI's estimates, not a count of reports. They count crimes reported to police, not all crime, and say nothing about any one city, street or home.

Each cell is the FBI's estimated count, then the rate per 100,000 people. “Agencies reporting” is the share of the state's police agencies that sent the FBI data that year; the lower it is, the more of the estimate rests on the FBI's method. From 2013 the rape count uses the FBI's revised definition, which raised violent crime totals, so years before and after 2013 are not directly comparable.

Reported crime by agency in Minnesota

For what each police department or sheriff's office in Minnesota actually reported, with no estimates at all, see the A to Z list of Minnesota agencies.

How this is worked out

Estimated offenses ÷ population × 100,000. Both figures come from the FBI's estimated crimes file on the Crime Data Explorer downloads page; the share of agencies reporting comes from the FBI's participation file there. CrimeTally does not estimate anything itself and does not rank states. Read the full method and its limits.
