Crime & Safety in Jupiter
Jupiter reports meaningfully below-average crime overall, though the specific violent- and property-crime rate figures disagree noticeably across sources -- worth disclosing rather than averaging into a single misleadingly precise number. No specific neighborhood is singled out here as higher- or lower-crime; that level of granularity was not reliably sourced.

Jupiter's overall crime level is cited as about 44.83% below the national average by one crime-data aggregator, which places the town in the 83rd percentile for safety -- meaning it is estimated to be safer than roughly 83% of comparably sized U.S. cities in that aggregator's model.
Violent and Property Crime Rates: A Real Disagreement
Sources disagree meaningfully on the specific rates. One figure cites a violent crime rate of 123.8 per 100,000 residents; another, from a different aggregator, cites 1.789 per 1,000 residents (equivalent to about 178.9 per 100,000) -- roughly 44% higher than the first figure. Property crime shows a similar-sized gap: one source cites 1,045.4 per 100,000, while another cites 8.97 per 1,000 (897 per 100,000, with 565 property crimes logged over a recent 12-month period). This research pass could not reconcile the two sets of figures; both likely draw on overlapping but not identical FBI-reported data and modeling choices.
A Cost-of-Crime Estimate
One aggregator's 2025 projection puts the total estimated cost of crime in Jupiter at about $7.64 million citywide, or roughly $102 per resident and $252 per household -- an economic-impact estimate rather than a police-reported figure, and should be read as a modeled projection rather than an audited number.
Key takeaways
- Jupiter's overall crime level is cited as roughly 45% below the national average, placing it in the 83rd percentile for safety among comparable cities (one aggregator's model).
- Violent- and property-crime rate figures disagree by roughly 40-45% across sources reviewed -- e.g., violent crime cited at either 123.8 or about 178.9 per 100,000 residents depending on source -- and this research pass could not reconcile the gap.
- A 2025 modeled estimate puts the total economic cost of crime in Jupiter at about $7.64 million citywide (~$102/resident); this is a projection, not a police-reported total.
- No specific neighborhood is characterized here as higher- or lower-crime; that level of detail was not reliably sourced for this pass.
