Crimes reported to the FBI per 1,000 residents a year, 2023–2025. “Rest of FL” is every other Florida city and town in the FBI’s tables; the U.S. figure is the FBI’s national estimate as published, averaged over the three years. The FBI publishes no national homicide or robbery rate in our data, so those compare with all U.S. cities and towns in its tables.

What’s behind Coral Gables’ grade
Property crimes plus four times violent crimes reported to the FBI per resident, 2023–2025, on a national curve. Violent crime holds Coral Gables’ grade up; property crime pulls it down. Its property rate (14.2) is below the FBI’s national estimate (17.6) but higher than in most individual towns: the national figure is weighted by people, and the grade counts towns.

Eight people died in crashes on Coral Gables’s roads in 2019–2023
Coral Gables had 7 fatal crashes in five years, in which eight people died.
That is fewer than is typical for Florida towns of 25,000–100,000 people: at their median rate (9.7 deaths per 100,000 residents a year), a town of Coral Gables’s size would see about 24 in five years. With numbers this small, a death or two either way changes the picture, so Coral Gables’s own rate (3.2) is context, not a ranking.
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 Coral Gables. 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 Coral Gables’ residents, which raises the per-resident rate.
- Whose population. Rates use the FBI’s population for the department (50,539 in 2025); our figure for Coral Gables is 49,578 (2025 Census estimate).
- Gaps are real gaps. A missing year means the department didn’t report a full year, not that nothing happened.
