Baltimore, Maryland has the highest robbery rate in the U.S.
Baltimore, Maryland has the highest robbery rate in the U.S. by a significant amount. With 81.3 robberies per 10,000 residents, robbery in Baltimore occurs at more than twice the rate of most other cities in America.
The COVID-19 shutdowns beginning in April 2020 seem to correspond with a significant decrease in robberies in Baltimore.
This decrease makes sense considering most robberies in Baltimore occur on the street. Fewer people out during the pandemic offer more limited opportunities.
Robberies can occur in public or on private property, including in residences but most happen on the street or highway.
After that, the most common places were residences, commercial houses, convenience stores, gas or service stations, and banks.
In the South, residences accounted for 21.7% of all robbery locations, whereas only 9.6% of robberies in the West occurred in residences.
