Fort Pierce, FL crime: up or down?

Newest FBI monthly report: Oct 2026

Aug–Oct 2026 look incomplete so far (reports are still coming in), so this compares May–Jul 2026.

Not enough complete past years to compare

Past years either weren't sent in full or are too few, so there's no fair usual to compare with.

Missing or partial reports to the FBI: Jan 2022 – Nov 2022, Jan 2023 – Nov 2023, Apr 2026. Those months are left out of every comparison.

The same months in past years

Next to similar-size cities

Among the 455 city police departments serving 50,000–100,000 residents in the 51 states loaded so far: violent crime 5.6 per 1,000 residents a year (90% of them report less), property crime 15.2 per 1,000 (54% 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 Fort Pierce 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 Fort Pierce has more or fewer reported crimes than it usually does, and that its yearly rate is 20.8 per 1,000 residents against 13.5 across Florida.

How this works

Fort Pierce 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).
