What these numbers mean

Bike theft in Richmond accounts for a modest but notable share of reported incidents, ranking third among the city's tracked crime categories. The 17 incidents over two months suggest a steady but not overwhelming presence. Compared to other property crimes like theft from vehicle (129) and break and enter (88), bike theft is less frequent but still significant. The data does not show year-over-year trends, as only 2026 figures are available. For now, the numbers reflect a typical urban pattern where bike theft is present but not dominant.

About this dataset

Reporting basis: Counts reflect incidents reported to police only. Under-reporting — especially for sexual assault, fraud, and minor theft — means actual incidence is higher than these figures show.
Not a per-capita rate: These are absolute incident counts. Comparing one place’s counts to another without normalising for population can mislead — see crime rates per 100,000 for population-adjusted figures.
Category includes a range: A single category groups incidents of varying severity (e.g. "assault" spans minor altercations through serious assault). The count alone does not indicate severity.
Data window: 2026-04-09 to 2026-06-08.
