What the 2024 FBI UCR record shows for Altamonte Springs, FL
Comparable rate records
Altamonte Springs's closest reported-rate comparisons are in the Florida cohort
The nearest comparable 2024 records to Altamonte Springs's 340.3 violent-crime rate per 100,000 are Palm Bay (347.2), Parker (348.6), Blountstown (351.6), Key West (352.3). These are same-year agency submissions that pass the same completeness screen, not a claim that the cities have identical conditions. They make the cohort position above checkable against named records instead of a generic state average.
Position in the state cohort
Altamonte Springs sits mid-pack among comparable Florida cities
At 340.3 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Altamonte Springs ranks 42 of 126 — above 84 of the 125 other Florida cities whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test. That is +76.6% against the cohort median of 192.7. Cities that did not report, or that reported implausibly low totals, are excluded from this cohort rather than counted as low-crime.
2020–2024 direction
The reported violent-crime rate ended the window higher
Across 4 comparable reporting years, the rate moved from 315.0 per 100,000 in 2020 to 340.3 in 2024 (+8.0%). The highest observed value was 394.8 in 2022 and the lowest 315.0 in 2020. Years whose submission failed the completeness test are left out of this comparison rather than plotted as change.
Property counts dominate Altamonte Springs's FBI UCR Table 8 municipal row. Per-100,000 rates use the reporting-year population on that row; cities that fail the completeness test stay out of rate rankings. A citywide figure rarely describes any single neighbourhood inside the municipal boundary.
Mid-size municipal totals above are reported offenses, not safety advice for any single block. Reporting completeness still varies by year and agency.
