In 2025, the police departments that report for Cook County recorded 15,587 violent and 114,669 property crimes, 294 and 2,162 per 100,000 residents.

Departments serving 97% of the residents the FBI counts for the county reported every month that year; the rest are left out of these totals.

The county figure adds up its city and town police, its sheriff and any state police with residents of their own; a university or transit force is left out, because the people it serves are already counted by the town around them.

The FBI asks that these figures not be used to rank places or to judge how safe a neighborhood is.

Figures are published by the US Census Bureau, HUD, the Bureau of Labor Statistics and the FBI; Seayora reproduces them and does not adjust them, except where a sentence says it compares dollar figures after inflation. They describe the whole place, not any one building or street, and are not an appraisal, a rent determination, a tax bill, a safety rating or legal advice.
