That includes all robberies, and home invasion would similarly be a subset of that, so the OP is off at least of by a factor of 10.

So a few things

I'm using Bureau of Justice Statistics data, not FBI. E.g. https://bjs.ojp.gov/library/publications/victimization-durin...

FBI / UCR covers only reported crimes at police agencies that forward data, and is a subset. BJS tend to be better at getting realistic numbers. (E.g. a majority of burglaries aren't reported to the police, and thus don't show up in UCR*)

Also robbery is not a superset of home invasion, due to the difference in definition from burglary. Burglary isn't actually about stealing stuff, it's just breaking in with the intent to commit some crime (which is often theft, but not always). Robbery implies theft, but doesn't require it to be in someone's abode. So there's some overlap, but there's robberies that aren't burglaries (because no breaking in is involved), and there's burglaries (even some of the <10% subset of burglaries that are violent) that aren't robberies, because a theft isn't occurring.

* For things like homicide, UCR tends to be a lot better, because the reporting rate is quite high.

For example:

1. You break into someone's house and steal their crypto with no violence: burglary, not robbery.

1a. If they're present in the house, it's technically a home invasion even if there's no violence.

2. You break into someone's house and steal their crypto by physical violence: burglary and robbery

3. You break into someone's house and take a dump on their pillow: burglary (even though no theft), not robbery

4. You steal someone's crypto via violence on the street: robbery, not burglary

5. You steal someone's crypto by pickpocketing them on the street: not burglary, also not robbery

Note that the majority of burglaries are unreported to the police and don't show up in the UCR. You should use the Bureau of Justice Statistics for numbers on crimes with very low reporting rates.
