Spring Hill, FL Crime Map

Spring Hill, FL Safety Overview

With a population of 165,526 and an overall crime grade of A-, Spring Hill stands out as one of Florida's genuinely safe communities — not just by reputation, but by the numbers. Every single one of the eight neighborhoods analyzed in this report earned an A grade or higher, meaning 100% of Spring Hill's measured areas fall into the safest possible tier. That kind of consistency is rare, and it tells a meaningful story about what daily life looks like here for the roughly 165,000 people who call this Hernando County community home.

Neighborhood-by-Neighborhood Safety Breakdown

At the top of the safety rankings sit Villages of Avalon and Sterling Hill, both earning A+ grades with median household incomes of $76,785 and $76,615 respectively — the highest in the city. Timber Pines, the largest of the A+ neighborhoods with a population of 5,683, also holds an A+ rating alongside a median income of $61,602. Wellington at Seven Hills and Silverthorn round out the A+ tier, with incomes of $63,292 and $64,142. On the relative lower end — though still solidly safe — are Quail Ridge and Aripeka, each earning an A grade. Quail Ridge carries a median income of $65,232 and a population of 1,378, while Aripeka is the smallest area analyzed at just 202 residents.

What the Grade Distribution Tells Us

The grade distribution across Spring Hill's neighborhoods is striking in its uniformity: 100% of analyzed neighborhoods earned an A, with six of those achieving the top A+ designation. No neighborhood scored B, C, D, or F. While this could partly reflect the areas selected for analysis, it also aligns with Spring Hill's city-wide safety rating of Very Safe. Even the neighborhoods listed as comparatively higher-crime — Quail Ridge, Silverthorn, Hudson Grove Estates, Wellington at Seven Hills, and Sterling Hill — all hold A or A+ grades, underscoring that the variation within Spring Hill is narrow and the baseline safety level is high across the board.

Property Crime vs. Violent Crime in Spring Hill

Like most suburban communities of its size and density — Spring Hill sits at 732 residents per square mile — property crime represents the more common concern rather than violent crime. With a median home value of $161,639 and a median rent of $1,085, the area attracts working and middle-class households, and the 14.8% poverty rate and 7.1% unemployment rate do introduce some economic pressure that can correlate with opportunistic property offenses. Violent crime, by contrast, remains a marginal concern given the city's A- overall grade. Residents are statistically far more likely to encounter a property-related incident than any form of violent crime, and even those risks are well below national averages for a city this size.
