¹ Populations are U.S. Census Bureau provisional estimates as of July 1, 2006, and July 1, 2005.
² The 2005 crime figures have been adjusted.
³ Limited data for 2005 and 2006 were available for Illinois.
⁴ The data collection methodology for the offense of forcible rape used by the Illinois (with the exception of Rockford, Illinois) and the Minnesota state (2006 data only) Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Programs do not comply with national UCR Program guidelines. Consequently, their figures for forcible rape were estimated for inclusion in this table.
⁵ Includes offenses reported by the Zoological Police and the Metro Transit Police.
* Less than one-tenth of 1 percent.
NOTE: Although arson data are included in the trend and clearance tables, sufficient data are not available to estimate totals for this offense. Therefore, no arson data are published in this table.
