📊 SWFL Safety Analysis
Southwest Florida is consistently ranked as one of the safest regions in the country. However, wealth attracts opportunity. As ALOA-certified locksmiths, we analyze local property crime trends to help our neighbors stay proactive, not reactive.
The Truth About Safety in Southwest Florida
Don’t rely on rumors—rely on the data. According to research from BackgroundChecks.org (based on FBI violent crime reports and per-capita averages), Southwest Florida holds four of the top 50 safest cities in the entire state of Florida.
| City | Property Crime Chance (out of 100) | Safety Status |
|---|---|---|
| Marco Island | 1.2% | High Safety |
| Punta Gorda | 1.6% | High Safety |
| Cape Coral | 2.2% | Above Average |
| Naples | 2.6% | Moderate Exposure |
Why the Difference in Naples?
You may notice Naples has a slightly higher property crime percentage (2.6%) compared to Marco Island. The reason is simple: Wealth. As one of the wealthiest cities in the U.S., Naples is a target for property-related crimes and opportunistic theft.
While the violent crime rate is incredibly low, “crimes of opportunity” (like unlocked doors or weak deadbolts) are where Naples homeowners are most vulnerable.
