Note: this is CEAD’s "Drug Crimes" family — criminal offences under Ley 20.000 (trafficking, micro-trafficking and cultivation). It is a low-volume, mostly police-detected category. Public drug or alcohol consumption is classified by CEAD under Disorder, not here, so this figure understates total drug-related police activity.

Rankings by Crime Type

Official CEAD data for Maipú (Metropolitana region) show a stable trend in reported crime incidence. The commune ranked 225 of 346 nationally in 2025, recording 3,983.9 incidents per 100,000 inhabitants.

Maipú is one of the communes that make up the Metropolitana region. Within the region, it holds regional rank 43, 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.

Maipú's reported incidence rate in 2025 falls moderately below the per-capita national mean across Chilean communes — approximately 31% lower. This relative position reflects reported data only; actual differences may be influenced by local reporting patterns and the commune's demographic profile.

Maipú's reported incidence in 2025 was approximately 23% below the per-capita mean for the Metropolitana region. Among Metropolitana communes, this places Maipú on the lower side of the regional distribution.

In 2025, the leading category in Maipú's reported crime profile was property crimes, which accounted for the largest share of total reported incidents. The second most prevalent category was crimes against persons. This composition reflects Maipú'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 Maipú's data is Colina (Metropolitana), identified as the nearest comparable commune within the same region based on reported incidence. In 2025, Colina recorded approximately 3,971.9 incidents per 100,000 inhabitants, compared with 3,983.9 for Maipú. The two communes share a similar incidence tier, making the comparison informative for understanding Maipú's position relative to a concrete peer rather than an abstract national average. Colina holds national rank 226 of 346.

Looking at the full CEAD time series, Maipú recorded 3,965 incidents per 100,000 inhabitants in 2005. Since then, the reported rate has remained broadly stable, reaching 3,983.9 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 3,983.9 incidents per 100,000 inhabitants for Maipú reflects the most recent complete annual data available at the time of this publication.
