On the map, green marks the parts of Kansas with the least property crime and red marks the most, weighted by the type and severity of each offense. Property crime is the most common category of crime, so these maps track closely with where stores, parking, and daytime foot traffic sit. The Interpreting the Crime Maps section below explains why busy commercial blocks can look worse than the neighborhoods around them.

The C grade reflects how often theft, burglary, vehicle theft, and arson happen in Kansas against the average US state, where the rate is slightly higher than the norm. Kansas sits in the 39th percentile for property-crime safety, ahead of 39% of states and behind 61%. The grade covers only Kansas's official city boundaries. See the table below for nearby states.

The property crime rate in Kansas is 19.48 per 1,000 residents in a typical year. Residents generally point to the east part of the state as the safest for their belongings. Your odds of a property-crime loss range from 1 in 37 in the south cities to 1 in 71 in the east.

Counting total incidents instead of per-capita rates, the south parts of Kansas report the most property crime, about 18,506 cases per year. The northwest part reports the fewest, around 1,234 per year.

The Cost of Crime™ in Kansas

Property crime in Kansas is projected to cost $414,889,663 in 2025, about $138 per resident and $349 per household. That equals 0.3% of the median household income. All of it is measurable loss: replaced vehicles, repaired break-ins, stolen goods, and the policing and courts that respond. Because property crime leaves a repair bill rather than a lasting injury, these tangible costs make up its full economic toll. They split into:

Criminal justice system costs (law enforcement, courts, and imprisonment): 66.3%
Direct costs to victims (damaged property, medical expenses, and lost wages): 27.7%
Lost economic contribution from offenders (time in prison or repeat offenses): 6.0%

How the Property Crime Cost Is Estimated

Property crime carries no pain-and-suffering figure in this model. Its cost is the replacement and repair value of what was taken or damaged, plus the policing, courts, and lost offender productivity that follow. Stolen and damaged property has a market price, which is why this total is easier to pin down than the human cost of violent crime in Kansas. All Cost of Crime figures come from scholarly research on the cost of crime. Read more about our methodology here.

Interpreting the Property Crime Maps

Property crime rates are measured per resident, so places where shoppers and commuters outnumber residents read high. Stores are where shoplifting, theft, and vehicle break-ins happen, yet almost nobody lives there, so the per-capita rate climbs. How strongly this shows on the map depends on retail density; the northeast part of the state has more retail establishments. A red commercial strip does not mean the homes nearby are unsafe.

Parking lots and transit stops follow the same pattern: heavy daytime traffic, few residents, so per-capita property crime reads high. To judge a residential block, weigh both the per-capita rate and the total number of incidents, and note what sits nearby.
