About Evansville crime rates

The crime rate in Evansville is considerably higher than the national average across all communities in America from the largest to the smallest, although at 52 crimes per one thousand residents, it is not among the communities with the very highest crime rate. The chance of becoming a victim of either violent or property crime in Evansville is 1 in 19. Based on FBI crime data, Evansville is not one of the safest communities in America. Relative to Indiana, Evansville has a crime rate that is higher than 80% of the state's cities and towns of all sizes.

Importantly, when you compare Evansville to other cities of similar population, the Evansville crime rate (violent and property crimes combined) is quite a bit higher than average. Regardless of how Evansville does relative to all communities in America of all sizes, when NeighborhoodScout compared it to communities of similar population size, its crime rate per thousand residents stands out as higher than most.

The crime data that NeighborhoodScout used for this analysis are the seven offenses from the uniform crime reports, collected by the FBI from 17,000 local law enforcement agencies, and include both violent and property crimes, combined.

Now let us turn to take a look at how Evansville does for violent crimes specifically, and then how it does for property crimes. This is important because the overall crime rate can be further illuminated by understanding if violent crime or property crimes (or both) are the major contributors to the general rate of crime in Evansville.

From our analysis, we discovered that violent crime in Evansville occurs at a rate higher than in most communities of all population sizes in America. The chance that a person will become a victim of a violent crime in Evansville – such as armed robbery, aggravated assault, rape or murder – is 1 in 265. This equates to a rate of 4 per one thousand inhabitants.

NeighborhoodScout's analysis also reveals that Evansville's rate for property crime is 49 per one thousand population. This makes Evansville a place where there is an above average chance of becoming a victim of a property crime, when compared to all other communities in America of all population sizes. Property crimes are motor vehicle theft, arson, larceny, and burglary. Your chance of becoming a victim of any of these crimes in Evansville is one in 21.
