Home Burglary Risk in the United States
Check your neighborhood's real burglary risk using official FBI UCR and state police data. Get a personalised home security score and actionable recommendations.
US Coverage — Growing State by State
We use official FBI Uniform Crime Reporting data and state-level police statistics to provide accurate burglary risk data. Connecticut is fully covered at the town/city level, with additional states being added as we validate and process their data.
Official Data Sources
All burglary statistics come from official law enforcement agencies:
- FBI UCR Program — Uniform Crime Reporting data from the Federal Bureau of Investigation, covering property crimes nationwide.
- Connecticut State Police — Town and city-level burglary data from the CT Department of Emergency Services and Public Protection.
- State agencies — As coverage expands, data comes from each state's official crime reporting agency (DCJS, DPS, etc.).
Why Local Burglary Risk Matters
Burglary rates across the US vary dramatically — affluent suburbs may have rates under 1 per 1,000 while urban areas can exceed 20 per 1,000 residents. FBI national averages don't reflect your neighborhood's reality. Our tool uses your town's official crime data to calculate a risk level specific to where you live.
Combined with a detailed assessment of your home's physical security (doors, locks, windows, lighting, alarms, cameras), you get a personalised 0–100 score showing exactly where you stand and what to improve first.
