State of Texas Reported Burglaries in 2021-96,419 Burglary Rate per 100,000-371

On average, a burglary happens once every 30 seconds.

According to the FBI statistics, a burglar strikes close to every 30 seconds in the US (30.48 seconds to be exact).That adds up to two burglaries every minute and over 3,000 burglaries per day.

Despite a high level of concern, only 38% of Americans have a home security system to protect their property from burglary.

The average loss from a burglary is $2,661.

People worry about burglary more than any other property crime.

Burglaries usually happen in the middle of the day.

It seems counter-intuitive, but more burglars do their misdeeds in the bright light of day instead of under cover of darkness. A 2016 burglary victimization survey revealed that the most common time for burglaries was between noon and 4 p.m.

FBI burglary data in 2021 showed that 196,684 of all reported residential burglaries occurred in the daytime compared to 154,723 at night.

Burglaries are more frequent during the summer months.

When temperatures rise, so do the number of burglaries. On average, burglaries rise about 10% between June and August.

More people were burglarized in June (regardless of the year) than in any other month, June accounted for 11.3% of the burglaries experienced by respondents.

March and April had the next-highest numbers of burglaries with 10.3% and 10.9%, respectively.

Rural states see more burglaries than those with big metropolitan hubs.

Renters are burglarized more often than homeowners.

According to the US Bureau of Justice Statistics, burglars hit renters more frequently than homeowners—and that’s been the trend for decades.

Survey results found that 28% of renters experienced a property crime in 2021 compared to 27% of homeowners. 

How to protect your home from a burglary

Only 28% of Americans use a security system to protect their property and loved ones, and 24% don’t do anything at all to deter burglars.

• Install a home security system. You can get an alarm system with 24/7 professional monitoring for far less than the cost of the average burglary.Plus, most burglars admit they’d skip a house with a security system to seek out an easier target.

• Upgrade your locks. The locks that come standard on house and apartment doors aren’t usually the most secure. It’s easy to trade out a basic lock for one that meets high security standards and has a reputation for keeping criminals out.

• Shore up weaknesses. Look for security vulnerabilities around your home. It could be anything from a sliding glass door to an unlit path from the car to the front door. Adding an extra lock or an outdoor light with motion detection provides extra security and helps you sleep better at night.

• Add a security camera. Sometimes all you need is an outdoor security camera to scare off a would-be intruder. Video doorbell cameras are another good way to keep tabs on your property and let the burglars know you’re watching.

• Don’t wait. Too many people put off home security until after they’ve already been burgled. It’s easy to think that burglary is something that happens to “other people,” but the truth is it could happen to any of us. Take action now to make sure your home, valuables, pets, and people are all protected.
