How to read Miami crime data

What these numbers do and do not tell you.

Everything above is what one agency — the Miami Police Department, ORI FL0130600 — reported to the FBI for a covered population of 460,392. Transit, university, county and state police working the same streets file separately and are not added in, so a city total is not the total of all crime inside the city limits. Rates use the agency's own population coverage as the denominator, which is how the FBI computes them. Property offenses moved up 4.3% against 2023. Reporting practices, staffing and NIBRS transition dates differ between departments, so treat city-to-city comparison as directional rather than exact.
