Sourced figures for Idaho
Report · 2025
The FBI estimates 605.0 property crimes per 100,000 Idaho residents. That is the lowest rate in Crime in the United States, Table 5. The table covers the 50 states and the District of Columbia.
Lowest rate first. The switches hide states. They do not change a rate, and the dashed line stays the U.S. rate of 1,534.8. A star marks limited 2025 data for Florida and North Dakota. The District of Columbia is a city, so its bar is not a statewide mix of cities and rural areas. Idaho is the solid rust bar. Every other bar is black. A bar that passes the dashed line is above the U.S. rate. That is not a safety score.
50 states and D.C. The dashed line is the U.S. rate, not the average of the bars in view.
D.C. is hidden, so these are statewide rates only. The dashed line is still the U.S. rate.
States whose Table 5 population is within 50% of Idaho's. Nebraska is the closest in size. The dashed line is still the U.S. rate.
Census Bureau Mountain Division. The dashed line is still the U.S. rate, not the average of these eight.
Intermountain states with a cold semi-arid or highland climate like Idaho's settled areas. Oregon and Washington are left out because their populated coasts are maritime. Arizona is left out because its populated areas are hot desert. The dashed line is still the U.S. rate.
The same figures are in the table.

Property crime here is burglary, larceny-theft, and motor vehicle theft. Arson is a property crime in FBI files and is not in this rate, because the FBI does not estimate it. Robbery is counted as a violent crime and is not here either. The population is the figure the FBI printed in Table 5, a Census Bureau provisional estimate for July 1, 2025, not the survey figure on the city pages.
| Offense | Rate per 100,000 |
|---|---|
| Burglary | 88.9 |
| Larceny-theft | 463.5 |
| Motor vehicle theft | 52.6 |
| Table 5 total | 605.0 |

Same Table 5 rates, limited to the Census Bureau's Mountain Division. Idaho stays first in this group. The national rate on this page is still 1,534.8, not the average of these eight states.
| State | Rate per 100,000 | Offenses |
|---|---|---|
| Idaho | 605.0 | 12,280 |
| Wyoming | 1,038.0 | 6,111 |
| Utah | 1,415.5 | 50,092 |
| Montana | 1,448.5 | 16,581 |

Boise is not the state rate. The FBI publishes city counts in Table 8, and that table keeps only agencies that submitted 12 complete months. It does not estimate the missing months. Boise's rate is 824.1 per 100,000 residents: 1,965 offenses and a city population of 238,450. That population is the Table 8 figure, not the Census estimate on the Boise page.
The next published capital is Honolulu at 1,384.4. The median of these 48 capitals is 2,454.0, not the national state rate of 1,534.8. The state figure averages agencies across Idaho, then estimates for agencies that did not report. The city figure is one department's complete year.
FBI Uniform Crime Reporting Program, Crime in the United States, 2025, Table 8. Reported offenses from agencies that submitted 12 months of complete data. Not statewide estimates (those are Table 5). Not shown, because they filed no complete year: Topeka, Kansas; Baton Rouge, Louisiana; Carson City, Nevada.
Published by Preston Thatcher Yates. The rates were not recomputed from agency dumps. Each state rate is the published "Rate per 100,000 inhabitants" row under that state's "State Total" in Table 5. The row labeled "Area actually reporting" was not used. The national rate is Table 1. Adding the state counts does not reproduce Table 1.
The rate is crimes known to law enforcement: offenses reported to police or otherwise coming to their attention. Many thefts are never reported. The rate is:
(estimated burglary + larceny-theft + motor vehicle theft) ÷ population × 100,000.
Agencies classify offenses by FBI definitions, not by the name in a state statute. The short versions below are the FBI's.
In one incident with more than one offense, these estimated tables count only the most serious offense. That is the FBI hierarchy rule. Most agencies now submit incident-based data. For this publication the FBI converts those submissions back to the older summary format so the series can continue.
Not every agency reports every month. For Tables 1 through 5, the FBI fills gaps and then rolls the results up to the state and the nation.
Table 5, footnote 3, says limited data were available for Florida and North Dakota. Both still have published rates. Idaho is not one of those states. Participation is voluntary for most local agencies. When late reports arrive, the FBI restates earlier years in the next Table 1. Its 2025 Quick Stats say the national property crime rate was 12.8% lower than the 2024 rate in this publication. This page does not print a 2024 rate for Idaho, because that comparison is not in the extract used here.

Idaho, in the FBI's 2025 Crime in the United States estimates, released August 2026. The rate is 605.0 property crimes per 100,000 residents. That is the latest annual Table 5, covering the 50 states and the District of Columbia. It is not a measure of how safe a place is.
Yes. In the FBI's 2025 Crime in the United States estimates, released August 2026, Idaho's rate of 605.0 per 100,000 residents is the lowest in Table 5. Those are the latest annual figures. Monthly FBI updates and the Idaho State Police Crime in Idaho report are different statistics.
