Year-over-year

In 2022, the reported count rose 5.9% from 1,183 incidents in 2021 to 1,253 in 2022. This was a full-year comparison, not a partial-year estimate. The 2022 total sits below 2023’s 1,426 but above 2024’s 1,231 and 2025’s 1,216 in the six-year city series. Because these are reported counts, the year-over-year change should be read as a reporting trend, not a per-capita risk measure. The 2022 figure is also part of the city’s full archive of 6,887 records across all years.
