The 10 States Where Criminals Are Most Likely to Get Away with Fraud
  • Florida ranks first, driven by the highest report volume and exposure risk.
  • A clearance rate below 11% and over 369,000 fraud reports make California a hotspot for unresolved financial crime.
  • While fraud report volumes are high nationwide, states like Georgia and Nevada show striking risk levels relative to their population sizes.
This analysis ranks U.S. states where fraud is most pervasive and least likely to be resolved. The study evaluates each state using three weighted indicators: fraud reports per 100,000 people (40%), total number of fraud reports (30%), and the inverse of the related crime clearance rate (30%). All metrics were normalized using Min-Max Scaling. The clearance rate – used as a proxy for enforcement success – was inverted to emphasize risk. Higher composite scores indicate a greater likelihood of fraudsters avoiding consequences.
