What is the crime rate in Canadian County?
Over 2021-2025, the county's police agencies sent the FBI reports of about 160 violent and 1,148 property crimes per year. That is 1.7 violent crimes per 1,000 residents, 59% lower than the Oklahoma rate (4.2), and 53% lower than the U.S. rate (3.7). Burglary, theft and car theft together come to 12.4 per 1,000 residents, compared with 21.9 across Oklahoma. Only about 54% of residents live in areas whose police reported a full year, so treat the rate with care. Aggravated assaults make up 71% of the violent total. CDC death records show about 5 homicide deaths a year in the county (3.2 per 100,000), a count that includes cases police may classify differently.

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. County figures add up the city police and sheriff reports in the county (9 agencies; 54% of residents covered).
