Data updated 2026-09-05
Maitland, FL is close to the national middle for violent crime, and earns an A PlainCrime safety grade, where violent crime runs 64% below the U.S. average
According to the FBI Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Program for 2024, Maitland, FL shows violent crime at 125.4 per 100,000 residents and property crime at 1,353.5 per 100,000. Violent crime runs 64% below the U.S. average. PlainCrime assigns grade A from those rates. Figures are voluntary agency submissions joined to population denominators; incomplete coverage can move the number.
Small-count caution
Maitland reported 24 violent offences in 2024 against a population of 19,136. At this volume one additional or one fewer report moves the per-100,000 rate noticeably, so the figure is better read as a data point than as a precise measurement, and year-to-year swings here are expected.
Comparable rate records
The nearest comparable 2024 records to Maitland's 125.4 violent-crime rate per 100,000 are Oldsmar (121.6), Wellington (129.8), Safety Harbor (130.0), Neptune Beach (130.2). 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 125.4 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Maitland ranks 90 of 126 — above 36 of the 125 other Florida cities whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test. That is -38.6% 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.
2020–2024 direction
Across 4 comparable reporting years, the rate moved from 162.3 per 100,000 in 2020 to 125.4 in 2024 (-22.7%). The highest observed value was 238.2 in 2023 and the lowest 125.4 in 2024. Years whose submission failed the completeness test are left out of this comparison rather than plotted as change.
Offense mix
Violent offenses are 8.5% of the 283 Part I offenses reported in Maitland for 2024, against a median of 13.5% across comparable Florida cities — a gap of 5.0 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 is 71.4% of reported property offenses in Maitland, against a cohort median of 81.8%. The remainder is burglary (51) and motor vehicle theft (23). Composition differences of this size usually track what kinds of places and property are present in a jurisdiction.
Property counts dominate Maitland'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.
Based on 24 reported violent incidents in a population of 19,136. At this volume, one additional or one fewer report can shift the rate and letter grade noticeably; small-city crime counts are inherently more volatile year to year than large-city counts, so treat this grade as a data point, not a precise ranking.
Mid-size municipal totals above are reported offenses, not safety advice for any single block. Reporting completeness still varies by year and agency.
