Is Jacksonville safe?
We don't rate cities as safe or unsafe. What the FBI's numbers show: in 2025 the violent crime rate the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office reported, 519.3 per 100,000 residents, was higher than Florida's 260.9, and higher than the US rate of 327.6 (FBI estimates). It fell 7.0% from 2024.
What these numbers can't tell you:
- How crime differs between neighborhoods (the FBI publishes agency totals only).
- Crimes nobody reported to the police.
- How many offenses involved visitors and commuters, who are not in the population count.
In 2025 there were 5,239 violent crimes reported to the FBI by the sheriff's office, or 519.3 per 100,000 residents in the area the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office covers, which is the consolidated City of Jacksonville and nearly all of Duval County.

Violent crime is down 26.4% from 705.9 in 2021, and property crime 16.5%, while the Florida estimate went from 337.3 to 260.9.
