According to the most recent data from the FBI, the total crime rate in New Orleans is 6,437.3 per 100,000 people. That's 159.91% higher than the national rate of 2,476.7 per 100,000 people and 73.45% higher than the Louisiana total crime rate of 3,711.3 per 100,000 people.
Note: Because the rates of crime are so low in America, we use "per 100,000 people" to make the number a bit easier to compare across locations visually. It's mathematically the same as doing per capita comparisons and isn't conveying that there are 100,000+ people in a location.
