Note: The FBI has historically used two systems to collect crime data, the Summary Reporting System and the National Incident Based Reporting System. Beginning in 2021, the FBI stopped accepting data through the Summary Reporting System. Many agencies were unable to make a quick shift, resulting in only half of the US population being represented in the 2021 crime data. For this reason, data from 2021 is missing from the above table.
