Florida crime rate

The FBI's estimate of reported crime in Florida, every year since 1979, with the math shown.

Violent crime · 2025

260.9 per 100,000 people

The FBI estimates 61,203 violent crimes were reported in Florida in 2025, for a population of 23,462,518. That works out to 260.9 for every 100,000 people. Its estimate for the whole United States that year is 327.6.

61,203 ÷ 23,462,518 × 100,000 = 260.9

Property crime · 2025

1,176.1 per 100,000 people

The FBI estimates 275,952 property crimes were reported in Florida in 2025, for a population of 23,462,518. That works out to 1,176.1 for every 100,000 people. Its estimate for the whole United States that year is 1,534.8.

275,952 ÷ 23,462,518 × 100,000 = 1,176.1

In 2025, 463 of Florida's 903 police agencies (51%) sent the FBI data. Where agencies did not report, or reported part of a year, the FBI filled in the gap by its own method, so these are the FBI's estimates, not a count of reports. They count crimes reported to police, not all crime, and say nothing about any one city, street or home. The FBI's note on Florida for 2025: “Limited data for 2025 were available for Florida and North Dakota.”

Each cell is the FBI's estimated count, then the rate per 100,000 people. “Agencies reporting” is the share of the state's police agencies that sent the FBI data that year; the lower it is, the more of the estimate rests on the FBI's method. From 2013 the rape count uses the FBI's revised definition, which raised violent crime totals, so years before and after 2013 are not directly comparable.

The FBI's notes on Florida

2025: Limited data for 2025 were available for Florida and North Dakota.
1996: The state UCR Program was unable to provide complete 1996 offense figures in accordance with UCR guidelines. The state UCR Program was able to provide an aggregated state total and data were received from 94 individual Florida agencies

Reported crime by agency in Florida

For what each police department or sheriff's office in Florida actually reported, with no estimates at all, see the A to Z list of Florida agencies.

How this is worked out

Estimated offenses ÷ population × 100,000. Both figures come from the FBI's estimated crimes file on the Crime Data Explorer downloads page; the share of agencies reporting comes from the FBI's participation file there. CrimeTally does not estimate anything itself and does not rank states. Read the full method and its limits.
