Fraud by state: what the 2025 FTC and FBI data show
Among the 50 states, Nevada, Georgia and Florida had the highest rates of Fraud and Other reports in the FTC's 2025 data. DC's rate was higher, but the FTC doesn't rank it. Here is every state, and what these numbers can and can't tell you.
PrivacyTechReview Editorial Team · Editor-in-Chief: Kirill Prosandeev · Updated Nov 2, 2026
In the FTC's 2025 data, Nevada ranks first for Fraud and Other reports per 100,000 people, just ahead of Georgia and Florida. North Dakota, South Dakota and Iowa rank lowest. Florida ranks first for identity theft reports per 100,000 people, though California has slightly more in total. DC isn't ranked, but its Fraud and Other rate is higher than any state's. These are reports, not a count of victims, and many reach the FTC through other organizations, so in our reading a high rank can also mean that more people there report.
Before you quote a number
- The FTC's ranking isn't fraud alone. It ranks "Fraud and Other" reports together. In our reading of its dashboards, that's everything in its state figures except identity theft, and "Other" includes complaints such as debt collection and banks and lenders. Nevada had 51,163 of those, and 29,516 were fraud reports. So the accurate line is "most Fraud and Other reports per 100,000 people", not "most fraud".
- These are reports, not cases. The FTC says its Sentinel figures rest on unverified consumer reports and aren't a survey.
- Rates use older population figures. The FTC's dashboard says its rankings use 2023 Census estimates.
- Some reports are left out. The FTC's Fraud by State notes say state-level data exclude reports from state-specific data contributors; its ID Theft by State map note doesn't mention this. The FTC lists DC and Puerto Rico without a rank, and we leave Puerto Rico out of this table.
- 2025 has a gap. The FTC says it didn't collect reports during the 2025 government shutdown, so take care comparing years.
- The FBI's numbers are a separate count. IC3 calls its statistics a point-in-time assessment, and the FTC's data includes IC3 reports, so don't add the two together.
- This is a snapshot. We copied the FTC's figures on November 2, 2026, and the FTC updates its dashboards each quarter. Its dashboard read: "Published July 28, 2026 (data as of June 30, 2026)."

How we built this
- FTC columns. Copied from the FTC's "Fraud by State" and "ID Theft by State" dashboards with the year set to 2025 and all quarters selected. Ranks and rates are the FTC's. Fraud reports, losses and median losses are from the map view, state by state.
- IC3 column. IC3's 2025 state pages don't print a state total, so this is our sum of each state's "Crime Type by Victim Loss" table, leaving out its "descriptor" rows such as cryptocurrency. It counts victims in the state, not suspects. On IC3's elder fraud and cryptocurrency state pages, the crime-type rows add up to almost exactly the totals shown for that group, so a loss doesn't appear to be counted twice. Treat it as approximate anyway, since IC3 says its statistics can change. We didn't convert it to a rate, so don't use this column to say one state is worse than another. If you cite it, call it PrivacyTechReview's sum of FBI IC3 state tables.
- What we didn't do. We didn't adjust, estimate or fill in any FTC figure, and we don't rank states on the IC3 sum.
- Why there's no "2025 Data Book" link. On November 2, 2026, the newest Data Book on the FTC's reports page covered 2024, so its dashboards are the source for 2025.
