St. Joseph's Hospital-North, part of BayCare Health System, is a full-service hospital located directly in Lutz, offering an emergency department, intensive care, surgical services, obstetrics, a cardiac catheterization lab, and imaging, per BayCare's own facility listings. AdventHealth also operates a presence in Lutz, including AdventHealth Central Pasco ER and an AdventHealth Medical Group Multispecialty location on State Road 54; AdventHealth Wesley Chapel, BayCare Hospital Wesley Chapel, University Community Hospital, and St. Joseph's Women's Hospital are all a short drive away for more specialized or higher-acuity care.
Crime: Two Sources, Broadly Consistent Low Readings
CrimeGrade.org rates Lutz's overall crime rate 48% below the national average with an A- safety grade, citing an overall rate of 14.31 incidents per 1,000 residents and a roughly 1-in-422 chance of being a victim of violent crime. NeighborhoodScout separately describes Lutz's violent crime rate (about 1 per 1,000 residents) as roughly average for U.S. communities generally, but rates Lutz safer than 71% of U.S. cities and towns of all sizes -- both sources point toward a genuinely low-crime market, even though they frame the comparison slightly differently (national percentile vs. average-community benchmark).
Consistent Safety Across Lutz's Own Neighborhoods
CrimeGrade.org reports that approximately 100% of Lutz's 10 analyzed neighborhoods are rated A or B for safety, with the northwest part of the city reading as the safest (roughly a 1-in-103 chance of victimization) versus the southeast (roughly 1-in-50) -- a real internal variance, though every neighborhood analyzed still lands in the top two safety grades. Per site policy, no specific area is named as lower-graded here; check current neighborhood-level data directly for a specific address.
