I take it these are percentages of all complaints? Because the number of complaints for anti-Jewish hate crimes was 116 in 2020, but 198 in 2021, so a definite increase, but hate crime overall basically doubled as well, so the relative amount to the total is lower.

> complaints for hate crimes

> hate crime

These are not the same thing and especially when comparing over time you need to take into account how the definitions for the categories themselves change.
