What the 2024 FBI UCR record shows for Aventura, FL
Comparable rate records
Aventura's closest reported-rate comparisons are in the Florida cohort
The nearest comparable 2024 records to Aventura's 164.4 violent-crime rate per 100,000 are Atlantic Beach (160.6), Royal Palm Beach (158.9), Boca Raton (171.0), Palm Beach (172.7). 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.
Offense mix
The reported mix leans further toward property offenses than the state cohort
Violent offenses are 3.9% of the 1,630 Part I offenses reported in Aventura for 2024, against a median of 13.5% across comparable Florida cities — a gap of 9.6 points. Offense mix is shaped by which agencies report and how incidents are classified as well as by the underlying offenses, so it describes the reported record rather than a settled difference in conditions.
Property-offense composition
Larceny-theft dominates the property total more than it does across the cohort
Larceny-theft is 95.6% of reported property offenses in Aventura, against a cohort median of 81.5%. The remainder is burglary (56) and motor vehicle theft (13). Composition differences of this size usually track what kinds of places and property are present in a jurisdiction.
2020–2024 direction
The reported violent-crime rate ended the window lower
Across 5 comparable reporting years, the rate moved from 183.2 per 100,000 in 2020 to 164.4 in 2024 (-10.3%). The highest observed value was 183.2 in 2020 and the lowest 103.8 in 2021. Years whose submission failed the completeness test are left out of this comparison rather than plotted as change.
Position in the state cohort
Aventura sits mid-pack among comparable Florida cities
At 164.4 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Aventura ranks 71 of 126 — above 55 of the 125 other Florida cities whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test. That is -19.5% against the cohort median of 204.3. Cities that did not report, or that reported implausibly low totals, are excluded from this cohort rather than counted as low-crime.
Property counts dominate Aventura'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.
