EDMONDS, WA - The FBI released its annual report on crime in the U.S. on Monday. The statistics show that violent crime is on the rise nationally while property crimes decreased for the 14th year in a row. The FBI's Crime In the U.S. (CIUS) report is based on data sent by local police departments.
The national trends seen in the 2016 CIUS don't necessarily match at the local level. In many Puget Sound communities, property crime is on the increase, as is violent crime.
In Edmonds, violent crime increased slightly overall in 2016 compared to 2015, with a nearly 87 percent increase in rape, plus a homicide (there were zero in 2015). Property crime also increased, although burglaries and car thefts decreased.
In the tables below, you can check how crime changed in your city between 2015 and 2016. Note that there are two definitions of rape used by local departments.
