Frequently Asked Questions About Pompano Beach Crime & Safety

Is Pompano Beach safe?

By the numbers, Pompano Beach is remarkably safe. Of the 75 neighborhoods analyzed for 2026, 74.7% earned a Grade A and another 17.3% earned a Grade B, meaning 92% of the city falls into the "safe" category. The city-wide safety rating is Very Safe (A). Only 3% of neighborhoods — specifically Old Collier (Grade F) and Blanche Ely (Grade D) — fall into the higher-crime tier. Neighborhoods like Kensington, Wyndham, and North Springs consistently post A+ grades, reflecting the strong safety baseline across most of Pompano Beach. Standard urban precautions still apply, but the data makes a compelling case that the vast majority of residents live in low-crime environments.

What is the overall crime grade for Pompano Beach in 2026?

Pompano Beach carries an overall Crime Grade of C at the city level, which reflects aggregate crime exposure across all 75 neighborhoods — including the small number of higher-crime pockets. However, that city-wide grade contrasts sharply with the neighborhood-level picture: 56 out of 75 neighborhoods (74.7%) rate Grade A, and a combined 92% rate Grade A or B. The C grade is pulled down primarily by a handful of concentrated problem areas — Old Collier (Grade F), Blanche Ely (Grade D), and a cluster of C-range neighborhoods including Pompano Airpark, Loch Lomond, and Andrews Industrial District. If you live or rent in any of the A or B neighborhoods, your personal safety environment is significantly better than the city-wide grade implies.

What are the safest neighborhoods in Pompano Beach?

Ten neighborhoods earned the top Grade A+ rating in 2026. Here is how they break down by population and median household income:

• Parkland Golf and Country Club — A+, ~1,897 residents, median income $197,521
• Butler Farms — A+, ~1,122 residents, median income $160,635
• North Springs — A+, ~2,326 residents, median income $141,506

• Country Lakes — A+, ~1,075 residents, median income $86,358

Notably, Wyndham is the largest A+ neighborhood with over 7,000 residents, demonstrating that top safety grades aren't limited to small, exclusive enclaves. North Lauderdale Estates achieves an A+ at a median income of $61,561 — well below the group average — showing that strong community safety can exist across a range of income levels.

Which neighborhoods in Pompano Beach have higher crime?

Only 2 out of 75 neighborhoods (3%) rate Grade D or F, making elevated-crime areas a genuine minority in the city. The highest-concern areas are:

• Old Collier — Grade F, the single highest-crime neighborhood in the analysis
• Blanche Ely — Grade D-, the second most concerning area

An additional three neighborhoods sit in the Grade C range — Pompano Airpark (C-), Loch Lomond (C), and Andrews Industrial District (C) — indicating moderate crime levels that warrant awareness but are not in the high-risk tier. If you are evaluating a rental or home purchase, cross-referencing the specific neighborhood grade against this list is a practical first step.

Is Pompano Beach a good place to live based on crime data?

The crime data supports a positive case for living in Pompano Beach, with important nuance. 92% of analyzed neighborhoods rate Grade A or B, and the city-wide safety classification is Very Safe (A) at the neighborhood level. The city has a population of approximately 111,200, a median household income of $52,565, and median home values around $226,481 — making it relatively accessible compared to many South Florida markets. The unemployment rate of 7.8% and poverty rate of 17.3% are worth noting as context for the economic pressures that can correlate with crime in specific pockets. Still, neighborhoods like Wyndham (7,005 residents, A+) and Kensington (4,814 residents, A+) show that large, established communities within the city maintain excellent safety records. For families and individuals prioritizing safety, focusing on the 69 neighborhoods rated Grade A or B gives a strong pool of options.

How does the grade distribution in Pompano Beach compare across all 75 neighborhoods?

The breakdown across all 75 analyzed neighborhoods is as follows:

• Grade A: 56 neighborhoods (74.7%) — the dominant category by a wide margin
• Grade B: 13 neighborhoods (17.3%) — generally safe with minor elevated risk
• Grade C: 4 neighborhoods (5.3%) — moderate concern, including Loch Lomond and Andrews Industrial District
• Grade D: 1 neighborhood (1.3%) — Blanche Ely
• Grade F: 1 neighborhood (1.3%) — Old Collier

The combined A+B share of 92% is a strong indicator that Pompano Beach's safety challenges are geographically concentrated rather than city-wide. The combined D+F share of just 3% — representing 2 out of 75 neighborhoods — underscores that high-crime conditions are the exception, not the rule, in this city.
