Crime recorded in North Weeki Wachee, and why it isn’t graded
North Weeki Wachee has no police department of its own: it’s an unincorporated community (a census-designated place) in Hernando County. The Hernando County Sheriff’s Office reports to the FBI for the parts of the county without police of their own, so there are no figures for North Weeki Wachee alone, and no Safety Grade. Brooksville, 9 miles away, is the nearest town with a Safety Grade (D).

10 people died in crashes on North Weeki Wachee’s roads in 2019–2023
North Weeki Wachee had 10 fatal crashes in five years, in which 10 people died; 2 were pedestrians.
That is 22.3 deaths per 100,000 residents a year, above the median for Florida towns of 5,000–25,000 people (11.0, 308 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.
- A county agency covers a wide area. Its totals mix many communities, so they say little about any one of them.
- Gaps are real gaps. A missing year means the department didn’t report a full year, not that nothing happened.
