The Intangible Cost of Crime in Oviedo, FL

The totals above count tangible costs only. Violent crime also carries a human cost, the pain and trauma borne by victims and their families, which research-based methods estimate so it can be compared across places. That intangible cost in Oviedo totals $28,139,812 ($337 per resident), and all of it comes from violent crime rather than property loss. Added to the tangible costs, the full estimate reaches $40,819,990 ($489 per resident). All Cost of Crime figures come from scholarly research on the cost of crime.

Interpreting the Crime Maps

Crime rates on the map are measured per resident, so areas with heavy visitor traffic can read high because crime follows crowds, even where few people live. The west part of the city holds more retail establishments, which lifts recorded crime around those blocks. A red area does not always mean the neighborhood is unsafe for residents.

Airports, parks, and transit hubs create the same effect. Major airports draw large crowds with few residents nearby, so they read as high-crime spots. Parks and recreational areas, of which Oviedo has 7, do the same, and of Oviedo's 83,529 residents few live beside them. Before assuming an area is unsafe, weigh both the per-capita rate and the total number of incidents, and note what sits nearby.
