Home Security Statistics

Looking to keep your home as protected as possible this summer? We've rounded up some statistics regarding home security that can help. If you don't have a home security system installed yet, these stats might motivate you to make that a priority.

Did you know:

• The majority of burglaries occur during the summer.
• Approximately 66% of burglaries are home break-ins.
• In the United States, a home is broken into every 13 seconds.
• Over 2.5 million home intrusions happen every year.
• Homes that aren't equipped with security systems see their break-in potential go up 300%.

By installing a home security system, you can increase the chance that a burglar will be caught, but you'll find that a large number of burglars will completely avoid a home if they believe a security system is installed. These systems can also help keep your neighbors and surrounding neighborhood more safe.
