Altamonte Springs had 17 fatal crashes in five years, in which 17 people died; 7 were pedestrians and 1 was a cyclist. 1 died in crash on an Interstate.
That is 7.4 deaths per 100,000 residents a year, below the median for Florida towns of 25,000–100,000 people (9.7, 147 towns).
Deaths are counted where the crash happened, not where the people lived: a highway through town adds through-traffic deaths, and residents’ own risk on roads elsewhere isn’t here. Town rates sit below state and U.S. rates because a third of fatal crashes happen outside any town. Road safety is described here and is not part of the Safety Grade.

What this data can and can’t tell you
- It’s reported crime. Only incidents reported to and recorded by police appear here. Many crimes are never reported to police.
- One number for all of Altamonte Springs. A town-wide rate doesn’t show where incidents happen, and that can differ a lot from one part of town to another.
- Visitors count too. Incidents involving people who work, shop or visit are counted against Altamonte Springs’ residents, which raises the per-resident rate.
- Whose population. Rates use the FBI’s population for the department (47,544 in 2025); our figure for Altamonte Springs is 48,000 (2025 Census estimate).
- Gaps are real gaps. A missing year means the department didn’t report a full year, not that nothing happened.
