A new report shows that homicide, rape, and aggravated assault increased in 2021.
SAN DIEGO – Violent crime in San Diego County increased in 2021, a report released Tuesday by the San Diego Association of Governments found.
“While the 2021 crime rates are historic lows for our region, violent and property crimes were up last year,” SANDAG Senior Director of Data Science Cynthia Burke said. “By using the data that SANDAG has collected over the past four decades, we have a much better understanding of crime patterns throughout our communities, helping public safety agencies and policymakers develop reduction strategies that more effectively address what is happening today.
Robbery, also categorized as a violent crime, decreased in 2021 to the lowest rates since SANDAG began measuring crime rates in the region. Burglaries were at an all-time low in 2021, and when compared to rates since 1980, they continued a nine-year downward trend.
