The crime rates there are bogus, as are most crime stats in any US city. I was a LEO in central FL for several decades and the crime in Arcadia is local and migrant workers, NOT snowbird related. I watched how the so called crime states were reported by various cities over the years and believe me they are as bogus as the city fathers can make them. I saw one city that had it own requirement for "violent" crime and to qualify Jeffrey Dahmer or the Charles Manson crew had to have been involved. Then another in central FL reported every possible scenario as a violent crime, if it didn't fit into a property crime scenario. Other words, take the so called "crime" stats with a grain of salt and you will be fine.
