North Palm Beach, FL Crime Map

North Palm Beach Safety Overview: An A-Rated Community

With a population of 13,090 and an overall crime grade of A, North Palm Beach stands among Florida's safest municipalities. Across all 46 analyzed neighborhoods, every single one earned an A grade — meaning 100% of the city scores at the top tier and exactly 0% fall into C, D, or F territory. That kind of uniformity is rare in any metropolitan region, and it reflects a community where low unemployment (1.7%) and a modest poverty rate of 4.9% create conditions that consistently suppress criminal activity.

Safest Neighborhoods in North Palm Beach

Several neighborhoods rise to the very top even within this already high-performing city. North Palm Beach Country Club leads with an A+ grade and a median household income of $116,781 across its 731 residents — making it the most populous of the top-rated areas. Oak Harbour earns an A+ as well, with a median income of $102,083. Lost Tree Village, with 263 residents and a median income of $203,908, is among the most affluent pockets in the city and matches that prosperity with an A+ safety grade. Hidden Key North and Captain's Key also carry A+ ratings, both reporting median incomes near $203,908. Even smaller enclaves like Sea Oats and Loggerhead Park — with median incomes closer to $46,667 — hold A+ grades, demonstrating that safety in North Palm Beach is not exclusive to its wealthiest corridors.

Understanding the Grade Distribution

The grade distribution here is straightforward: 100% of North Palm Beach's 46 neighborhoods earned an A, and none scored below that threshold. There are no B neighborhoods, no C neighborhoods, and no areas flagged with a D or F. For prospective residents or anyone researching the city's safety profile, this means the question is not which parts of town to avoid — it's understanding the nuanced differences within an already exceptional baseline. Even the areas listed as relatively higher-crime, including the Village of North Palm Beach and North Palm Beach Country Club, carry A+ grades themselves.

Property Crime vs. Violent Crime Patterns

In communities with North Palm Beach's socioeconomic profile — a median home value of $342,883 and a median rent of $1,552 — property crime typically draws more attention than violent crime. The city's low poverty rate and near-full employment environment reduce the economic pressures that often drive both categories upward. Violent incidents remain exceptionally infrequent across the city's neighborhoods, while any property crime activity that does occur tends to be isolated rather than concentrated in identifiable hotspots. The consistency of A+ grades across neighborhoods of varying income levels, from the $203,908 median of Lost Tree Village down to the $46,667 median of Loggerhead Park, suggests that neither property nor violent crime has established a meaningful foothold anywhere in the city.

How the Crime Map Supports Smarter Decisions

For home buyers evaluating a $342,883 median-priced market, the interactive crime map provides neighborhood-level grading that goes beyond city-wide averages — allowing direct comparisons between areas like Oak Harbour and Sea Oats before making a purchase. Renters weighing a $1,552 median rent can use the map to confirm that their prospective building falls within a consistently graded zone rather than relying on general reputation alone. Commuters who travel through North Palm Beach during early morning or late evening hours can cross-reference recent incident data with their regular routes. The map also serves long-term residents who want to track whether their neighborhood's A+ standing holds steady over time, giving them an early signal if patterns begin to shift. In a city where the data is this consistently positive, the map's greatest value is in providing the confidence to act — whether that means signing a lease, closing on a home, or simply understanding the place you already call home.
