What is the crime rate in Michigan?
Michigan had an estimated 4.2 violent crimes per 1,000 residents in 2025 (42,157 in all), 27% higher than the U.S. rate (3.3). The rate fell 15% from 2021. Property crime: 12.6 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 | 49,295 | 4.9 | 137,199 | 13.7 | 3.9 |
| 2022 | 46,489 | 4.6 | 155,469 | 15.5 | 3.9 |
| 2023 | 46,461 | 4.6 | 157,244 | 15.6 | 3.8 |
| 2024 | 44,304 | 4.4 | 141,748 | 14.0 | 3.6 |
| 2025 | 42,157 | 4.2 | 127,461 | 12.6 | 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.
