What the 2024 FBI UCR record shows for Cutler Bay, FL
Comparable rate records
Cutler Bay's closest reported-rate comparisons are in the Florida cohort
The nearest comparable 2024 records to Cutler Bay's 147.8 violent-crime rate per 100,000 are Palmetto Bay (148.5), Indian Harbour Beach (144.1), South Pasadena (151.9), Clewiston (152.5). 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.
2020–2024 direction
The reported violent-crime rate ended the window lower
Across 5 comparable reporting years, the rate moved from 258.5 per 100,000 in 2020 to 147.8 in 2024 (-42.8%). The highest observed value was 258.5 in 2020 and the lowest 50.6 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
Cutler Bay sits mid-pack among comparable Florida cities
At 147.8 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Cutler Bay ranks 79 of 126 — above 47 of the 125 other Florida cities whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test. That is -27.6% 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.
Offense mix
The reported mix leans further toward property offenses than the state cohort
Violent offenses are 9.8% of the 654 Part I offenses reported in Cutler Bay 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.
Property counts dominate Cutler Bay'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.
