In 2024, there were 73,603 reported property crimes, marking a 2.7% decrease from 75,647 cases in 2023.

Additionally, the province's population density plays a role, as urban areas typically experience higher crime rates.
Nationally, Spain has also seen fluctuations in property crime, reflecting broader trends in urban safety and public policy. Data from the Statistical Portal of Criminality, Spanish Ministry of Interior, underscores the importance of ongoing analysis and community engagement in addressing these challenges.
