Comparable rate records
The nearest comparable 2024 records to Kissimmee's 491.7 violent-crime rate per 100,000 are Bartow (491.7), Ocala (499.7), Miami (473.3), Arcadia (513.4). 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
At 491.7 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Kissimmee ranks 24 of 126 — above 102 of the 125 other Florida cities whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test. That is +155.1% 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 20.6% of the 1,956 Part I offenses reported in Kissimmee for 2024, against a median of 13.3% across comparable Florida cities — a gap of 7.4 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.
2020–2024 direction
Across 4 comparable reporting years, the rate moved from 427.8 per 100,000 in 2020 to 491.7 in 2024 (+14.9%). The highest observed value was 491.7 in 2024 and the lowest 384.3 in 2023. Years whose submission failed the completeness test are left out of this comparison rather than plotted as change.
Property counts dominate Kissimmee'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.
On a large city row, these are citywide reported offense totals - not neighbourhood advice. Conditions vary by place and time; reporting rates differ across jurisdictions.

The chart omits 2021 rather than drawing an unsupported zero or partial-coverage dip. The table preserves the year and marks the gap.
