property crimes per 100K
Based on 17 reported violent incidents in a population of 4,876.

What the 2024 FBI UCR record shows for Parker, FL
Small-count caution
The violent-crime count is small enough that the derived rate is unstable
Parker reported 17 violent offences in 2024 against a population of 4,876. 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
The reported violent-crime rate ended the window higher
Across 5 comparable reporting years, the rate moved from 212.2 per 100,000 in 2020 to 348.6 in 2024 (+64.3%). The highest observed value was 348.6 in 2024 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.
Comparable rate records
Parker's closest reported-rate comparisons are in the Florida cohort
The nearest comparable 2024 records to Parker's 348.6 violent-crime rate per 100,000 are Palm Bay (347.2), Blountstown (351.6), Key West (352.3), Altamonte Springs (340.3). 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.
Position in the state cohort
Parker sits mid-pack among comparable Florida cities
At 348.6 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Parker ranks 40 of 126 — above 86 of the 125 other Florida cities whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test. That is +80.9% 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.
Property counts dominate Parker'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 17 reported violent incidents in a population of 4,876. 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-city offense counts above are voluntary UCR submissions, not neighbourhood advice. Year-to-year swings can look large when the population base is modest.
