Overall, Maitland grades C+ for safety (#55 of 128 graded towns in Florida): close to the middle of U.S. towns, on crimes its police reported to the FBI in 2023–2025.
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 stands out about safety in Maitland
Maitland reports less crime than every graded town next door
Of the 4 Florida towns on Maitland’s borders, 2 have a Safety Grade: Winter Park (C), Altamonte Springs (C−). Eatonville reported to the FBI for 2024 and 2025 but not 2023. Fern Park is an unincorporated community (a census-designated place) with no police department of its own. Neighbors ↓
Among Florida towns, closer to the middle
Florida’s cities and towns report less crime than most states’, so Maitland’s place among its own towns differs from its national one: it reports less crime than 57% of the 128 Florida towns we grade, against 43% nationally. Safety Grade ↓
A job center
Maitland has 42,240 jobs based in town for 19,511 residents (Census LEHD), so some reports involve people who work or shop there rather than residents. How to read it ↓

What’s behind Maitland’s grade
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; violent crime is the closer of the two to typical. Its violent rate (1.9) is below the FBI’s national estimate (3.6) but higher than in most individual towns: the national figure is weighted by people, and the grade counts towns. Its property rate (13.8) 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.
Violent crime, by year and by type
Maitland’s police reported 111 violent crimes to the FBI over 2023–2025, about 1.9 per 1,000 residents a year, against 3.4 in the rest of Florida and the FBI’s national estimate of 3.6.

Six people died in crashes on Maitland’s roads in 2019–2023
Maitland had 6 fatal crashes in five years, in which six people died; 1 was a pedestrian and 1 was a cyclist. 1 died in crash on an Interstate.
That is about what is typical for Florida towns of 5,000–25,000 people: at their median rate (11.0 deaths per 100,000 residents a year), a town of Maitland’s size would see about 11 in five years. With numbers this small, a death or two either way changes the picture, so Maitland’s own rate (6.2) 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 Maitland. 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 Maitland’s residents, which raises the per-resident rate.
- Whose population. Rates use the FBI’s population for the department (19,858 in 2025); our figure for Maitland is 19,511 (2025 Census estimate).
- Gaps are real gaps. A missing year means the department didn’t report a full year, not that nothing happened.
