3 Illinois Cities Top the Country in Burglary and Burglary | Tech Reddy

The FBI says that in 2020, there were 314 robberies for every 100,000 people nationwide. However, in three Illinois cities, that number was much higher.

That same year, more than a million thefts were reported from coast to coast, and most of them occurred in residential areas. Contrary to what you might think, most of these thefts took place during the day instead of at night.
