Clewiston, FL crime: up or down?

Newest FBI monthly report: Sep 2026

May–Sep 2026 look incomplete so far (reports are still coming in), so this compares Feb–Apr 2026.

Lower than past years, but within its usual swings

55% below the usual, but Clewiston's past years differ from each other almost as much, so this isn't clearly unusual.

The map adds deadly crashes, plus plate-reader cameras and police surveillance technology where they are known, and lets you save the place to see what changes.

The same months in past years

Next to similar-size cities

Among the 3201 city police departments serving 2,500–10,000 residents in the 51 states loaded so far: violent crime 1 per 1,000 residents a year (38% of them report less), property crime 1.9 per 1,000 (8% report less).

The FBI warns against ranking places with these numbers: visitors, commuters, and how each department records and reports crime all differ. Treat this as context, not a grade.

Is Clewiston safe?

Crime Radar doesn't grade towns as safe or unsafe: one number can't say what a street is like, and the FBI warns against ranking places. What these reports can say is whether Clewiston has more or fewer reported crimes than it usually does, and that its yearly rate is 2.9 per 1,000 residents against 13.1 across Florida.

How this works

Clewiston Police Department sends monthly counts of violent and property crime to the FBI. Crime Radar compares the newest complete three months with the same months in past years, and only calls a change when it's bigger than this department's usual ups and downs. Months with missing reports are left out, so a reporting gap never looks like a safe stretch. These are totals for everywhere the department patrols, not one street.

Not every crime reaches these numbers: in the national victim survey, about 6 in 10 serious violent crimes and 3 in 10 property crimes were reported to police in 2024 (BJS).
