About these categories
Homicide, robbery, burglary, theft and vehicle theft come from the same reports Largo Police Department sends the FBI. Theft from vehicles is NIBRS codes 23F and 23G (items and parts taken from a vehicle) and theft is the rest of larceny. Robbery is part of violent crime and the others of property crime; assault and rape count in violent crime but are not listed separately, so the rows do not add up to the totals. Red means more than before, green means fewer. “Not yet” means the site does not have that month from a year earlier.

answered with the data aboveIs Largo safe?

Safety varies a lot by neighborhood, so the citywide figure is only a starting point.
Is there a crime map for Largo?
This site does not have one for Largo. The figures on this page come from the FBI, which receives city totals rather than locations, so CurrentCrimeMap shows how Largo compares with nearby places such as Pinellas County, FL (Sheriff) instead of a street-level map.

Where does the data come from?

| What most people ask about | Reported | Per 100k | vs. the 12 months before |
|---|---|---|---|
| RobberyTaking property by force or threat | 9 | 11 | −40% |
| BurglaryEntering a home or business to steal | 74 | 90 | −34% |
| Theft from vehiclesItems or parts taken from a vehicle, break-ins included | 74 | 90 | −68% |
| Vehicle theft | 1 | 1 | −89% |
What these numbers leave out: most crime never reaches the police. In the federal victim survey (BJS, 2024), about half of violent crimes and less than a third of property crimes were reported, and only a quarter of everyday thefts. Rates are per resident, so busy downtowns and tourist areas look worse than they are for the people who visit them.
