I updated the Columbus Crime Statistics page with 2019 data, which is the latest year available. The data comes from what the city reported to the FBI’s Uniform Crime Reporting system.

2019 Violent Crime
-There were 5,350 incidents of violent crime in Columbus in 2019, down slightly from 2018’s 5,365. The rate per 100K people was 595.4, down from 2018’s 601.0.
-There is some discrepancy between the murders the city reported to the FBI- 81- and the total number of homicides it reported in its 2019 year-end report- 104. At 81 murders, it would be a rate of 9 per 100K, while 104 would be a rate of 11.6 per 100K. Even at 104, it would represent a drop from 2018’s 109.
-There were 882 reported rapes, down from 2018’s 894. There were 98.2 rapes per 100K, down from 2018’s 99.9.
-Robberies continued their years-long decline, with 1,810 total and a rate of 201.4 per 100K. Robberies have declined 53% since 2007.
-There were 1,788 aggravated assaults at a rate of 199.0 per 100K. Assaults were higher than 2018’s 1,615, but they are still down nearly 35% since they peaked in 1990.

Perhaps strangely, Asians, women and older people have seen their crime rates increase. In all 3 cases, the total crimes were relatively low in comparison to other groups, but the changes were significant enough to be noticeable.

-Larceny thefts reached 20,606 for a rate of 2293.1 per 100K. This is both down from 2018’s 2427.8 and 46.9% lower than their 2001 peak.
-Burglaries continued their dramatic fall in 2019. 5,809 were reported for a rate of 646.5 per 100K. This is down from 6,477 and 724.9 in 2018, and down nearly 62% just since 2010.
