How to read these figures

These are offences reported to or recorded by the police, not every offence committed: some burglaries are never reported. The rate per 100,000 people lets you compare areas of different sizes. The three countries use different definitions, so their figures cannot be compared directly with each other.

What it means for installers and for anyone protecting a property

  • Local figures help justify a proposal: a risk assessment also starts from how many burglaries are recorded in the area.
  • An alarm system should be chosen for the risk, not from the catalogue.
  • If you install cameras, sort out signage and retention periods before switching on.

Statistical series used: “7.1.-Robos con fuerza en domicilios”.

The 2025 figures are provisional: the ministry marks them as still to be consolidated. We calculate the rate ourselves from INE resident population at 1 January of the same year.

  • Figures are extracted from the official file by a script, not copied by hand.
  • Where the statistics body publishes the rate we reproduce it; otherwise we calculate it from the official population for the same year.
