About this data
- Counts are Penal Code offenses 刑法犯 recognized by police 認知件数 in Jan–Dec 2025, by the ward where they happened. Special-law offenses (drugs, weapons, traffic) are not included.
- Categories are the police's own groups. “Serious violent” 凶悪犯 is murder, robbery, arson and non-consensual intercourse together; murder is not published separately by ward.
- Rates use residents (2025 census). Chuo and Kita hold the main business, shopping and nightlife districts (Namba, Shinsaibashi, Umeda), so far more people are there each day than live there, and their per-resident rates run high.
- Japanese and Chicago figures use different definitions and are not directly comparable.
