Odds are the reported 2025 rate expressed per resident, city-wide — your actual risk varies by neighborhood, time, and situation.
Treat this year's figure as incomplete. Jeffersonville's reported 2025 crime rate (411 per 100,000) is less than half its own recent average, which almost always means the agency submitted part of the year rather than that crime actually collapsed. We exclude Jeffersonville from our safest and most-dangerous rankings for 2025. The multi-year trend below is the more reliable read — see the methodology.

A high Crime Index score means lower reported crime relative to other US cities — it is not a guarantee of safety. Reported crime is not the same as actual crime. Research on the gap between crime that occurs and crime that gets reported to police — often called the "dark figure" of crime — estimates that roughly 40% of violent crime and about a third of property crime go unreported each year. Every index built on official statistics, including this one, necessarily undercounts real crime. That gap is exactly why homicide — the offense with the smallest dark figure — anchors the calculation instead of a more commonly reported but less reliable category like theft.
