Rows in italics: fewer than 80% of the population was covered by agencies reporting that year, mostly during the 2021 switch to the FBI's new incident-based system (NIBRS). Rates for those years are less reliable and we do not use them for comparisons. We also skip comparisons between years whose coverage differs by more than 10 points, because a different set of agencies was reporting.
