Angol (La Araucanía region) registers a reported incidence rate that places it in the upper quarter of Chilean communes. The CEAD series reflects a rising trend, with 6,152.7 incidents per 100,000 inhabitants recorded in 2025 — national rank 84 of 346.

Angol is one of the communes that make up the La Araucanía region. Within the region, it holds regional rank 6, a position that reflects its incidence level relative to other communes in the same administrative area. Regional comparisons are particularly relevant because they account for shared socioeconomic conditions, urban density patterns, and local reporting infrastructure that may influence measured incidence across the region.

The reported incidence rate of Angol in 2025 is close to the per-capita national mean computed across non-low-population communes. The difference is within a narrow margin, suggesting that the commune's reported activity broadly tracks the national level for communes of comparable data quality.

Within La Araucanía, Angol's 2025 rate is close to the regional per-capita mean. The commune sits near the midpoint of its regional distribution, indicating that its reported incidence aligns broadly with the typical level for the region.

In 2025, the leading category in Angol's reported crime profile was crimes against persons, which accounted for the largest share of total reported incidents. The second most prevalent category was public-order incidents. This composition reflects Angol's particular urban and socioeconomic characteristics. The CEAD breakdown covers seven crime families: crimes against persons, property crimes, violent robbery, public-order incidents, domestic violence, drug-related offenses, and weapons offenses. The relative weight of each category in the total rate is visible in the incidence-by-category chart above.

A useful reference point for contextualizing Angol's data is Renaico (La Araucanía), identified as the nearest comparable commune within the same region based on reported incidence. In 2025, Renaico recorded approximately 6,270.4 incidents per 100,000 inhabitants, compared with 6,152.7 for Angol. The two communes share a similar incidence tier, making the comparison informative for understanding Angol's position relative to a concrete peer rather than an abstract national average. Renaico holds national rank 75 of 346.

Looking at the full CEAD time series, Angol recorded 7,285.2 incidents per 100,000 inhabitants in 2005. Since then, the reported rate has decreased, reaching 6,152.7 in 2025. The multi-year series is displayed in the sparkline chart above, which shows annual values from 2005 through 2025. The most recent year of partial data (if available) is shown at reduced opacity to indicate that the figure is not yet complete. Year-on-year fluctuations are normal and can reflect changes in recording practices, population estimates, or law enforcement priorities rather than changes in underlying behavior.

The data presented here are sourced from CEAD (Centro de Estudios y Análisis del Delito), the official Chilean body that compiles police-reported crime statistics. All figures represent reported incidents — actual incidence may differ due to under-reporting, which varies by crime type and territory. The 2025 rate of 6,152.7 incidents per 100,000 inhabitants for Angol reflects the most recent complete annual data available at the time of this publication.
