Peoria Heights, IL crime: up or down?

Newest FBI monthly report: Aug 2026

Far lower than past years, possibly missing reports

These months run 50% below the same months in past years. A drop that size is usually reports not sent yet or a new records system counting differently, so Crime Radar won't call it a real drop until more months come in.

Is Peoria Heights safe?

Crime Radar doesn't grade towns as safe or unsafe: one number can't say what a street is like, and the FBI warns against ranking places. What these reports can say is whether Peoria Heights has more or fewer reported crimes than it usually does. For one block, open it on the map.

How this works

Peoria Heights Police Department sends monthly counts of violent and property crime to the FBI. Crime Radar compares the newest complete three months with the same months in past years, and only calls a change when it's bigger than this department's usual ups and downs. Months with missing reports are left out, so a reporting gap never looks like a safe stretch. These are totals for everywhere the department patrols, not one street.

Not every crime reaches these numbers: in the national victim survey, about 6 in 10 serious violent crimes and 3 in 10 property crimes were reported to police in 2024 (BJS).
