New FBI hate-crime data shows the American Jewish community remains wildly overrepresented among reported targets, even as national hate-crime reporting appears lower overall.

According to data, the FBI has recorded 3,750 hate-crime incidents and 4,384 offenses so far this year. Of those, 566 incidents and 613 offenses were anti-Jewish, meaning Jews were targeted in roughly 15% of all reported hate-crime incidents. Pew Research Center estimates Jews make up about 2.4% of U.S. adults, which means the Jewish community is being targeted at more than six times its share of the population.

The topline decline in hate-crime offenses needs context. FBI hate-crime reporting depends heavily on voluntary submissions from state, local and tribal agencies, and the current-year data becomes far less complete in later months. JNS noted that coverage dropped from about 88% of the U.S. population in January to less than 20% by June, making the numbers useful but not final.

Most anti-Jewish incidents involved vandalism or property damage, followed by intimidation, simple assault and aggravated assault. The most common locations were streets and sidewalks, K-12 schools, homes and college campuses. In other words, this is not confined to one corner of American life. It is showing up where Jews walk, study, live and pray.

The FBI data says New York state had reported only 88 anti-Jewish hate crimes to the bureau so far this year, while the NYPD separately says New York City alone confirmed 178 anti-Jewish hate crimes in the first half of the year. The NYPD says anti-Jewish incidents made up 55.3% of confirmed hate crimes in the city, even though Jews are about 10% of New Yorkers.

The trend fits a wider post-Oct. 7 reality. ADL’s latest audit found that 2025 was still the third-highest year for antisemitic incidents since the group began tracking them in 1979, with 6,274 incidents nationwide and physical assaults reaching a record high. The FBI data captures only reported criminal hate crimes; the broader picture includes harassment, threats, vandalism and intimidation that often never become federal statistics.

Jews are a tiny share of America, but remain one of its most visible hate targets. And if the official data is this alarming while still incomplete, the real scale of anti-Jewish hostility is almost certainly worse.
