Wyoming in 7 numbers
- Every major offense fell in 2025. Homicide 28% (25 to 32), motor vehicle theft -24%, robbery 17%, burglary -13%, larceny-theft -13%, aggravated assault -1%.
- Almost half of all reports are property crime. 11,135 of 30,146 reports (36.9%); larceny-theft alone is 7,403 (24.6%).
- Clearances skew toward violent crime. 81% of homicides cleared vs 19% of burglaries and 20% of larcenies (2025, reports cleared divided by reports received, reporting agencies only).
- Homicides fell by nearly a fifth. 32 reports in 2025 vs 25 in 2024 (28%) across reporting agencies.
- The biggest volume is not violent. Drug/Narcotic Violations (6,319) alone outweighs the entire personal-safety total (1,625, 5.4% of reports).
- Watch the monthly shape. Larceny-theft peaked in Aug (702) and troughed in Jan (566), a 1.2× swing inside a single year.
- These are reporting-agency sums. 53 of 66 agencies reported homicide in December 2025 (vs 54 in January); totals reflect who reported, not a census of crime.
Takeaways are computed from summed FBI CDE reported counts (source year 2025, 66 agencies in file). They describe reported data, not forecasts; check the methodology and coverage notes before reuse.
