Why It Matters in St. Petersburg

St. Petersburg crime, by the numbers.

St. Petersburg burglary rate vs the Florida statewide rate of 152.5/100k

That works out to roughly 10.7 burglaries per week — about 1.5 every day reported in St. Petersburg alone. 60% of convicted burglars said they'd avoid or move on from a home with a visible alarm system, per a UNC Charlotte study of 422 incarcerated burglars (Kuhns & Lee, 2012).

How St. Petersburg compares

St. Petersburg's 209.4 burglaries per 100k residents is 37% higher than the Florida statewide average of 152.5 — meaning a monitored alarm and visible deterrents matter more than they would in a lower-crime area. Compared to Tampa city limits (167.4 burglaries per 100k), St. Petersburg runs about 25% higher — typical for a denser, higher-traffic area. Total property crime in St. Petersburg (2,459 per 100k) runs 40% higher than the US national average (1,760 per 100k).
