Annual Incident Data

Annual incidents across six evidence-based categories, derived from cross-verified global data (FBI, CAIR, Tell MAMA, ENAR, and 4+ regional sources).

How to read this
  • An increase in reported incidents does not necessarily mean the same increase in real prevalence — reporting behaviour and methodology also change.
  • Sources use different methodologies (police records vs civil rights complaints vs media monitoring). Direct comparison of raw numbers across sources is misleading.
  • Read raw counts, per-capita rates, and media visibility together — no single metric is the full picture.
