Oregon City, OR crime: up or down?

Newest FBI monthly report: Dec 2025

Sep–Dec 2025 look incomplete so far (reports are still coming in), so this compares Jun–Aug 2025.

Lower than past years, but within its usual swings

48% below the usual, but Oregon City's past years differ from each other almost as much, so this isn't clearly unusual.

Missing or partial reports to the FBI: Sep 2025 – Oct 2025, Dec 2025. Those months are left out of every comparison.

The map adds deadly crashes, plus plate-reader cameras and police surveillance technology where they are known, and lets you save the place to see what changes.

The same months in past years

Next to similar-size cities

Among the 863 city police departments serving 25,000–50,000 residents in the 51 states loaded so far: violent crime 2.5 per 1,000 residents a year (68% of them report less), property crime 12.1 per 1,000 (53% report less).

The FBI warns against ranking places with these numbers: visitors, commuters, and how each department records and reports crime all differ. Treat this as context, not a grade.

Is Oregon City 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 Oregon City has more or fewer reported crimes than it usually does, and that its yearly rate is 14.6 per 1,000 residents against 26.7 across Oregon. For one block, open it on the map.

How this works

Oregon City 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).
