Trends in Burglary: What You Need to Know

 The Council on Criminal Justice has published the fact sheet Trends in Burglary: What You Need to Know at this link.

"The rate of burglaries reported to United States law enforcement agencies peaked in 1980, fell to an historic low in 2015, and continued to drop through 2022.

Residential burglary rates in cities with 500,000 to 999,999 residents were twice as high than in cities with fewer than 100,000 people.

The juvenile arrest rate for burglaries, once three times higher than the rate for adults, has decreased dramatically since the 1980s and is now similar to the adult rate.

Following a trend seen with other property crimes, the clearance rate for burglaries has dropped substantially since the 1960s; in 2022, 13% of all burglaries were cleared."
