What the 2024 FBI UCR record shows for Seminole, FL
Comparable rate records
Seminole's closest reported-rate comparisons are in the Florida cohort
The nearest comparable 2024 records to Seminole's 192.7 violent-crime rate per 100,000 are Astatula (189.8), St. Cloud (188.5), Treasure Island (184.5), Winter Park (204.3). 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.
2020–2024 direction
The reported violent-crime rate ended the window lower
Across 5 comparable reporting years, the rate moved from 252.4 per 100,000 in 2020 to 192.7 in 2024 (-23.7%). The highest observed value was 252.4 in 2020 and the lowest 119.2 in 2023. Years whose submission failed the completeness test are left out of this comparison rather than plotted as change.
Offense mix
The reported mix leans further toward property offenses than the state cohort
Violent offenses are 9.3% of the 397 Part I offenses reported in Seminole for 2024, against a median of 13.5% across comparable Florida cities — a gap of 4.2 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.
Position in the state cohort
Seminole sits mid-pack among comparable Florida cities
At 192.7 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Seminole ranks 64 of 126 — above 62 of the 125 other Florida cities whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test. That is -5.7% 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 counts dominate Seminole'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.
Mid-size municipal totals above are reported offenses, not safety advice for any single block. Reporting completeness still varies by year and agency.
