2020–2024 direction
Across 4 comparable reporting years, the rate moved from 354.2 per 100,000 in 2020 to 282.4 in 2024 (-20.3%). The highest observed value was 354.2 in 2020 and the lowest 282.4 in 2024. Years whose submission failed the completeness test are left out of this comparison rather than plotted as change.
Position in the state cohort

That is +46.5% 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.
Offense mix
Violent offenses are 9.8% of the 895 Part I offenses reported in Casselberry for 2024, against a median of 13.5% across comparable Florida cities — a gap of 3.7 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.
