Adults Who Have Experienced Rape or Attempted Rape

Select a County

This indicator shows the percentage of adults who report that someone has ever had sex with them, or attempted to have sex with them, after they said or showed they didn't want that person to or without their consent.

Why is this important?

Sexual violence, defined as sexual activity where consent is not obtained or not given freely, is a significant problem in the United States. Although anyone can be a victim of sexual violence, the majority of the victims are female. The perpetrator is typically male and usually someone who is known to the victim, such as a friend, coworker, neighbor, or family member. Sexual violence can result in physical injury as well as emotional harm, including trauma symptoms, flashbacks, panic attacks, or trouble sleeping. Victims may cope with their trauma in unhealthy ways, such as smoking, drinking, or taking drugs. With a public health problem like sexual violence, the ultimate goal is to stop it before it begins.
