What the 2024 FBI UCR record shows for North Port, FL
Comparable rate records
North Port's closest reported-rate comparisons are in the Florida cohort
The nearest comparable 2024 records to North Port's 93.7 violent-crime rate per 100,000 are Village of Pinecrest (94.6), Sweetwater (101.3), Miami Lakes (101.6), North Palm Beach (84.1). 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 4 comparable reporting years, the rate moved from 161.6 per 100,000 in 2020 to 93.7 in 2024 (-42.0%). The highest observed value was 161.6 in 2020 and the lowest 93.7 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
North Port reported a lower violent-crime rate than most comparable Florida cities
At 93.7 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, North Port ranks 99 of 126 — above 27 of the 125 other Florida cities whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test. That is -54.2% 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-offense composition
Larceny-theft dominates the property total more than it does across the cohort
Larceny-theft is 91.3% of reported property offenses in North Port, against a cohort median of 81.5%. The remainder is burglary (48) and motor vehicle theft (16). Composition differences of this size usually track what kinds of places and property are present in a jurisdiction.
Property counts dominate North Port'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.
