The local count comes to 4.4 violent crimes and 18.2 incidents of property crime per 1,000 people each year, with 3.3 and 17.2 in the rest of Florida. What’s more, on the record of crimes Kissimmee’s police reported from 2023 to 2025, it takes C− for safety: #99 of 128 graded towns in Florida.
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.

Property crimes plus four times violent crimes reported to the FBI per resident, 2023–2025, on a national curve. Both violent and property crime are higher than in most U.S. towns; property crime is the closer of the two to typical.

38 people died in crashes on Kissimmee’s roads in 2019–2023
Kissimmee had 37 fatal crashes in five years, in which 38 people died; 9 were pedestrians and 4 were cyclists.
That is 9.3 deaths per 100,000 residents a year, about the same as 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 Kissimmee. A citywide rate doesn’t show where incidents happen, and that can differ a lot from one part of the city to another.
- Visitors count too. Incidents involving people who work, shop or visit are counted against Kissimmee’s residents, which raises the per-resident rate.
- Whose population. Rates use the FBI’s population for the department (86,213 in 2025); our figure for Kissimmee is 85,591 (2025 Census estimate).
- Gaps are real gaps. A missing year means the department didn’t report a full year, not that nothing happened.
