Oregon in 7 numbers
- Every major offense fell in 2025. Motor vehicle theft -28% (20,727 to 15,022), homicide -26%, burglary -20%, robbery -12%, larceny-theft -7%, aggravated assault -5%.
- Almost half of all reports are property crime. 180,870 of 317,286 reports (57.0%); larceny-theft alone is 115,485 (36.4%).
- Clearances skew toward violent crime. 85% of homicides cleared vs 12% of motor vehicle thefts and 18% of larcenies (2025, reports cleared divided by reports received, reporting agencies only).
- Homicides fell by nearly a fifth. 240 reports in 2025 vs 324 in 2024 (-26%) across reporting agencies.
- The biggest volume is not violent. Simple assault (36,880) alone outweighs the entire personal-safety total (22,450, 7.1% of reports).
- Watch the monthly shape. Larceny-theft peaked in Jul (10,295) and troughed in Dec (8,216), a 1.3× swing inside a single year.
- These are reporting-agency sums. 43 of 152 agencies reported motor vehicle theft in December 2025 (vs 45 in January); totals reflect who reported, not a census of crime.
Takeaways are computed from summed FBI CDE reported counts (source year 2025, 152 agencies in file). They describe reported data, not forecasts; check the methodology and coverage notes before reuse.

Clearances: what got cleared in 2025
85% of homicides cleared vs 12% of motor vehicle thefts, clearance follows violent crime, not volume.

| Aggravated Assault | 15,164 | 8,907 | 58.7% |
| Robbery | 3,706 | 1,447 | 39.0% |
| Burglary | 17,372 | 3,134 | 18.0% |
| Larceny-theft | 115,485 | 20,816 | 18.0% |
| Motor Vehicle Theft | 15,022 | 1,729 | 11.5% |
Clearances ÷ reports received; clearances may concern earlier reports, so this is not a solve rate.
