How to read these numbers
Orlando's property crime rate sits above the national average, a reflection of its sprawling commercial districts, busy tourist corridors, and heavy daytime population. Violent crime is less common overall but concentrates downtown and in a few west-side neighborhoods, with the city's per-resident figures inflated by the millions of visitors who pass through but are not counted as residents.
We convert Orlando's crime indices into estimated rates per 100,000 residents using national benchmark rates, then restate them as everyday odds — for example, a “1 in N” chance over a year. Indices are scaled so that 100 equals the national average, and letter grades summarize each area on an A-to-F curve calibrated across U.S. cities so the comparison stays fair.
