Healthcare & Safety in Kissimmee
AdventHealth Kissimmee is a substantial, nationally recognized hospital serving the local area, but Kissimmee's crime data reads considerably less favorably than most of this dataset's other Florida markets -- and two major rating tools disagree sharply on just how much less favorably, a real disagreement worth disclosing plainly rather than picking one reading.

Learn moreAdventHealth Kissimmee: a real, substantial local hospital
AdventHealth Kissimmee is a 282-bed nonprofit hospital operating as a tertiary teaching hospital, burn center, and primary stroke center, with cardiovascular and cancer-care programs through the AdventHealth Cancer Institute. It has received America's 50 Best Hospitals and America's 100 Best Hospitals recognitions. One informal source (aggregated Facebook reviews) cites a 78% patient-recommendation rate -- a soft, non-clinical data point included for context, not as a substitute for CMS or Healthgrades quality ratings, which weren't independently pulled this research pass.
CrimeGrade's read: elevated but not extreme
CrimeGrade.org puts Kissimmee's violent crime rate at 3.018 per 1,000 residents and property crime at 13.38 per 1,000 residents in a typical year. Its modeled cost-of-crime figure is $177 per resident -- $82 below the national average but $21 above Florida's state average. By this source's framing, Kissimmee's violent crime specifically runs somewhat above the Florida state average while still reading safer than the national average overall.
NeighborhoodScout's read: notably less favorable
NeighborhoodScout reports a considerably higher overall crime rate of 23 per 1,000 residents -- a roughly 1-in-43 chance of being a victim of violent or property crime in a given year -- and states Kissimmee's crime rate runs higher than 83% of Florida's cities and towns of all sizes. This is a genuinely sharp disagreement with CrimeGrade's more moderate framing, not a rounding difference; both are legitimate, current sources, and neither should be treated as the single final word.
Check a specific address; no neighborhood is named here
Per site policy, this page does not name any specific Kissimmee area as higher- or lower-crime. Given how sharply CrimeGrade and NeighborhoodScout disagree on the citywide picture, checking a specific address directly with both tools -- rather than relying on either citywide figure alone -- matters more here than in most of this dataset's other markets.
Key takeaways
- AdventHealth Kissimmee (282 beds) is a nationally recognized nonprofit teaching hospital with burn-center, stroke-center, cardiovascular, and cancer-care programs; specific current CMS/Healthgrades quality ratings weren't independently confirmed this research pass.
- CrimeGrade.org reads Kissimmee's crime as elevated but not extreme (violent crime 3.018/1,000, property crime 13.38/1,000; cost-of-crime $177/resident, above the FL average but below the national average).
- NeighborhoodScout reads Kissimmee considerably less favorably: an overall 23/1,000 crime rate (about 1-in-43 odds of victimization), higher than 83% of Florida communities -- a real, sharp disagreement with CrimeGrade's framing.
- No specific Kissimmee neighborhood is named here as higher- or lower-crime; given the real disagreement between sources, check a specific address directly with both CrimeGrade and NeighborhoodScout before deciding.
