Comparable rate records
The nearest comparable 2024 records to Titusville's 518.3 violent-crime rate per 100,000 are Arcadia (513.4), Ocala (499.7), Sanford (542.6), Bartow (491.7). 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 518.3 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Titusville ranks 20 of 126 — above 106 of the 125 other Florida cities whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test. That is +169.0% 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.
Offense mix
Violent offenses are 28.8% of the 899 Part I offenses reported in Titusville for 2024, against a median of 13.3% across comparable Florida cities — a gap of 15.6 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.
2020–2024 direction
Across 4 comparable reporting years, the rate moved from 628.7 per 100,000 in 2020 to 518.3 in 2024 (-17.6%). The highest observed value was 628.7 in 2020 and the lowest 262.2 in 2023. Years whose submission failed the completeness test are left out of this comparison rather than plotted as change.
Property counts dominate Titusville'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.

The chart omits 2021 rather than drawing an unsupported zero or partial-coverage dip. The table preserves the year and marks the gap.
