Context
How to read these numbers
Minneapolis saw violent crime climb sharply in the early 2020s before easing somewhat, leaving the city with rates that still exceed national norms, particularly for shootings and carjackings. Property offenses such as theft from vehicles and catalytic-converter cuts remain widespread and affect neighborhoods across the income spectrum.
We translate Minneapolis crime indices into estimated rates per 100,000 residents using national benchmark rates, then express them as everyday odds, such as a “1 in N” annual chance. Indices are scaled so that 100 equals the national average, and letter grades summarize each area on an A-to-F curve calibrated across all U.S. cities for consistent comparison.
