Lafayette, Louisiana Crime Statistics December 2025

Lafayette, Louisiana's crime rates, particularly violent crime, have generally risen in the last few years, and property crime has remained consistently high. This doesn’t necessarily mean every neighborhood saw increases because trends can vary by area and crime type.
