Frequently Asked Questions: North Palm Beach Crime & Safety

Is North Palm Beach safe?

North Palm Beach earns an overall crime grade of A — the highest possible rating — making it one of the safest communities in Florida. Across all 46 neighborhoods analyzed, every single one received a Grade A, meaning 100% of the city's neighborhoods are classified as safe or better. That kind of uniformity is exceptionally rare among U.S. municipalities. Standout neighborhoods like North Palm Beach Country Club, Oak Harbour, Lost Tree Village, and Hidden Key North all carry A+ ratings — the top tier of the grading scale. Even the areas flagged as having relatively higher crime profiles, Village of North Palm Beach and North Palm Beach Country Club, still hold A+ grades, illustrating just how safe the city is as a whole.

What is the crime rate in North Palm Beach?

North Palm Beach's crime rate is among the lowest you'll find in a Florida community of its size. With a population of approximately 13,090 residents and a population density of 1,548 people per square mile, the city achieves a city-wide safety rating of Very Safe (A). Every one of the 46 neighborhoods analyzed earned a Grade A — meaning 0% of neighborhoods fell into the B, C, D, or F categories. The city's low unemployment rate of 1.7% and a poverty rate of just 4.9% are strong socioeconomic indicators that correlate with these low crime levels. A median household income of $71,830 and median home value of $342,883 further reflect the economic stability that underpins the community's safety profile.

Is North Palm Beach a good place to live?

By nearly every measurable standard, North Palm Beach ranks as an outstanding place to live. Consider the data: a median household income of $71,830, a median home value of $342,883, a median rent of $1,552, an unemployment rate of just 1.7%, and a poverty rate of only 4.9% — all well within ranges associated with stable, thriving communities. Layer on top of that a 100% Grade A neighborhood safety rating across all 46 analyzed areas, and North Palm Beach presents a compelling case for families, retirees, and professionals alike. The city's modest population density of 1,548 people per square mile keeps it from feeling overcrowded while still offering the amenities of an established Florida village. Whether you're drawn to the waterfront lifestyle of Lost Tree Village, the community feel of North Palm Beach Country Club, or the quieter enclave of Oak Harbour, the crime map consistently confirms a Very Safe (A) environment throughout.

How does North Palm Beach compare to other Florida cities for safety?

North Palm Beach's safety profile is exceptional even by Florida standards. Achieving a Grade A overall rating with 100% of neighborhoods graded A — and 0% in any lower tier — places it in an elite category. Most Florida cities of comparable or larger size show a mix of A, B, C, and sometimes D or F neighborhoods. In North Palm Beach, that variation simply doesn't exist: every neighborhood from the densely populated North Palm Beach Country Club (731 residents) to the smallest enclaves like Golden Bear Plaza (6 residents) and Captain's Key (11 residents) earns the same top-tier grade. Combined with a 1.7% unemployment rate — far below the Florida state average — and a sub-5% poverty rate, the city's safety metrics reflect deeply rooted structural stability rather than a temporary trend.
