Healthcare & Safety in Hollywood
Hollywood's clearest healthcare fact is a strong one: Memorial Regional Hospital and Joe DiMaggio Children's Hospital, both part of the large Memorial Healthcare System, sit within city limits and both carry strong national rankings. Crime data from CrimeGrade and NeighborhoodScout sends a genuinely mixed signal depending on the comparison basis.

Memorial Regional Hospital is a 797-bed public hospital in Hollywood, and Joe DiMaggio Children's Hospital -- its connected pediatric campus with a Level IV NICU -- carries 216 beds and is ranked the #4 Best Regional Hospital in Florida and #11 in the Southeast Region by U.S. News & World Report (health.usnews.com, retrieved 2026-08-22). This is a genuine, well-established regional healthcare anchor -- among the larger hospital systems in Florida.
Crime data: two sources, two different pictures
CrimeGrade.org gives Hollywood an overall C+ grade, with a violent crime rate of about 3.9 per 1,000 residents and a property crime rate of about 15.4 per 1,000 -- roughly average nationally, placing it in the 52nd percentile of cities graded. NeighborhoodScout, using a different methodology, puts Hollywood's violent crime rate at about 2 per 1,000 (a 1-in-430 chance) but its overall/property crime figure at about 17 per 1,000, describing Hollywood's overall rate as higher than 75% of Florida cities and towns while noting it's still lower than the average for similarly sized U.S. cities (both sources retrieved 2026-08-22). The two sources disagree on relative ranking, which is disclosed here rather than picking whichever reads more favorably.
Check a specific address, not a citywide impression
Per site policy, no specific lower-graded neighborhood is named here. CrimeGrade's own neighborhood-level data notes residents generally consider the north part of the city safer for violent crime and the southeast safer for property crime -- but check a specific address's current data directly with NeighborhoodScout or CrimeGrade.org rather than relying on either general reputation or a single citywide statistic.
Key takeaways
- Memorial Regional Hospital (797 beds) and Joe DiMaggio Children's Hospital (216 beds, ranked #4 in Florida by U.S. News) give Hollywood a genuine, highly ranked healthcare anchor within city limits.
- CrimeGrade.org grades Hollywood C+ (52nd percentile nationally); NeighborhoodScout puts its overall crime rate higher than 75% of Florida cities but still below the average for similarly sized U.S. cities -- the two sources disagree on relative standing.
- Violent crime rates from both sources cluster around 2-4 per 1,000 residents, roughly a national-average range.
- Confirm current, address-specific crime data directly with CrimeGrade.org or NeighborhoodScout before making a relocation decision.
