Miramar and Miami Gardens: Examples of Public Safety in South Florida
Florida has earned a reputation as one of the safest states in the U.S., thanks to the strong performance of several of its cities in FBI crime rankings. Among the 286 cities reviewed by the Crime Data Explorer of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), two in South Florida stand out: Miami Gardens and Miramar, both ranked in the nation’s top 10 least violent cities.
Miami Gardens: A Dynamic City in South Florida
Located in the heart of South Florida, Miami Gardens ranks fourth nationwide, with 1,570 violent crimes per 100,000 residents. For a diverse city of over 110,000 people and home to the iconic Hard Rock Stadium, such numbers are a clear sign of balance between rapid growth and public safety.
Miramar: Stability in Broward and South Florida
Miramar, in Broward County, adds further weight to South Florida’s reputation for safety. With 2,038 violent crimes per 100,000 residents, it ranks seventh in the country. Its continued residential and business expansion, matched with relatively low crime, strengthens its image as a safe and family‑friendly community.
Safer and Stronger South Florida
The FBI data highlights that South Florida is not only a hub for culture and tourism, but also a region where safer conditions distinguish it from many other parts of the U.S.
Conclusion
In a national context where crime remains a concern, Miramar and Miami Gardens are prime examples of public safety in South Florida, showing that urban growth can go hand in hand with security and quality of life.
