The 10 safest cities in Florida are determined each year by the National Council for Home Safety and Security. 

Their choices are based on total crimes, violent crimes, and property crimes.

The cities are statistically rated by crime rate per 1000 residents, violent crimes per 1000, and property crimes per 1000.

CRIME STATISTICS FOR 10 SAFEST CITIES IN 2021

OUR LIST OF 10 SAFEST CITIES

We do not disagree with the list above.  Most of the towns on our  list are still on the 2021 list, but things change year by year. 

A couple of serious crimes in a smaller town can change it's ranking.  For example, Parkland was off the list for a time because of the mass shootings at the local school.

These are our 10 favorite consistently safe Florida cities.
