Healthcare & Safety in Dunedin
Dunedin has its own community hospital, a nearby larger regional facility, and crime statistics that -- unlike some nearby Pasco cities -- broadly agree it's a safer-than-average place to live.

Mease Dunedin Hospital, established in 1937 and located within the city, is a 120-bed BayCare facility offering care across 16 specialties including neurology, spine care, orthopedics, and weight-loss surgery, following a $19 million multi-phase expansion. Mease Countryside Hospital, a larger 387-bed BayCare facility in neighboring Safety Harbor, offers Centers of Excellence in women's and children's services, heart, cancer, neuroscience, and orthopedic care for the wider area.
Crime data broadly agrees Dunedin runs safer than average
NeighborhoodScout reports an overall crime rate of 9 per 1,000 residents -- near the national average and, per NeighborhoodScout’s own framing, "noticeably lower than similar-size cities" -- with about a 1-in-114 chance of being a crime victim. CrimeGrade.org corroborates this with an A-minus overall grade, placing Dunedin in the 85th percentile for safety nationally. Unlike some nearby cities in this batch, the two major crime-data sources are broadly aligned here rather than contradicting each other.
No specific neighborhood-level crime naming
Both sources report normal block-to-block variance within any city this size; this site does not name or rank specific Dunedin neighborhoods as more or less safe. Use CrimeGrade’s or NeighborhoodScout’s own mapping tools directly for block-level detail.
Key takeaways
- Mease Dunedin Hospital (BayCare, 120 beds, established 1937) sits within the city; the larger Mease Countryside Hospital (387 beds) is nearby in Safety Harbor.
- Crime data sources broadly agree Dunedin is safer than average: NeighborhoodScout reports 9 crimes/1,000 residents (near-average, "noticeably lower" than similar-size cities); CrimeGrade gives it an A-minus, 85th percentile for safety.
- This is a case where major crime-data sources align, unlike some nearby cities in this batch where they diverge sharply.
- This site does not name or rank specific neighborhoods by safety; use CrimeGrade’s or NeighborhoodScout’s mapping tools for block-level detail.
