This page catalogues information about assault rates per 100,000 population in the United States by demographics. By using assault rate instead of total number of assaults in a country, it gives us a better understanding of how common assaults are in a particular country. For example, 100 total assaults in a town of 1,000 people would produce a very high assault rate of 10,000 per 100,000 population. But 1,000 total assaults in a country of 1 million people, while a higher total number of assaults would result in a lower assault rate of 100 per 100,000 population.
