The verdict
Ocean Ridge: among the safest cities in the country.
Based on 0 reported violent incidents in a population of 1,845. 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.
Small-count caution
Ocean Ridge reported 0 violent offences in 2024 against a population of 1,845. 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.
2020–2024 direction
Across 5 comparable reporting years, the rate moved from 202.4 per 100,000 in 2020 to 0.0 in 2024 (-100.0%). The highest observed value was 219.3 in 2022 and the lowest 0.0 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
At 0.0 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Ocean Ridge ranks 123 of 126 — above 0 of the 125 other Florida cities whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test. That is -100.0% 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.
Comparable rate records
The nearest comparable 2024 records to Ocean Ridge's 0.0 violent-crime rate per 100,000 are Indian Shores (0.0), Jupiter Inlet Colony (0.0), Longboat Key (0.0), Gulf Breeze (14.3). 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.
Offense mix
Violent offenses are 0.0% of the 15 Part I offenses reported in Ocean Ridge for 2024, against a median of 13.5% across comparable Florida cities — a gap of 13.5 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 73.3% of reported property offenses in Ocean Ridge, against a cohort median of 81.8%. The remainder is burglary (2) and motor vehicle theft (2). Composition differences of this size usually track what kinds of places and property are present in a jurisdiction.
Property counts dominate Ocean Ridge'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 0 reported violent incidents in a population of 1,845.
