What is the crime rate in Kansas?
The FBI estimates 13,613 violent crimes in Kansas in 2025, 4.6 per 1,000 residents, 40% higher than the national rate (3.3). The rate is about where it was in 2021. Property crime: 18.0 per 1,000 (U.S.: 15.3).
| Year | Violent crimes | Per 1,000 | Property crimes | Per 1,000 | U.S. violent per 1,000 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2021 | 13,071 | 4.4 | 66,020 | 22.5 | 3.9 |
| 2022 | 13,125 | 4.5 | 62,322 | 21.2 | 3.9 |
| 2023 | 13,831 | 4.7 | 68,982 | 23.4 | 3.8 |
| 2024 | 13,685 | 4.6 | 62,640 | 21.1 | 3.6 |
| 2025 | 13,613 | 4.6 | 53,485 | 18.0 | 3.3 |
Most crime never reaches the police, so these are reported crimes, a floor rather than the full count. In 2024 about half of violent crimes (48%) and about 3 in 10 property crimes (31%) were reported to police (U.S. Justice Department, National Crime Victimization Survey). Rates also depend on how completely each agency reports to the FBI. State totals are FBI estimates that fill in for agencies that did not report.
