Florida

Violent crime rate

24.6% below the national rate of 329.3 per 100,000

248.3 per 100,000 2025

Covers the 84.4% of the population whose agencies reported.

Offenses reported to police per 100,000 residents of the population the reporting agencies covered — not the state’s population, and a different share in each state. It is not a count of crime that happened.

Imprisonment rate

6.1% above the national rate of 360 per 100,000

382 per 100,000 2023

People held under the state’s own correctional authority per 100,000 residents, from a different publisher counting a different thing. Never added to the rate above.

Federal spending per resident

Higher than 31 of the 51 jurisdictions with a figure

$13,853 FY2025

Federal money obligated against a place of performance in the state, divided by its population. A place of performance is where an award record says most of its work will be done: in USAspending’s words, “the address where the predominant performance of the award will be accomplished.” It is reported, not verified, and it is not a record of where the money was spent.

Registered nonprofits

103,507 of them registered as charities

114,851 2026

Organizations the IRS lists in its Exempt Organizations Business Master File with an address in the state. Registration is not activity — the file records status, not whether an organization still operates — and churches and the smallest organizations are not required to register at all, so this undercounts by an unknown amount.

The IRS · Internal Revenue Service

Industry payments to health providers

131,625 doctors, across 7,695,605 separate payments

$1.4 billion 2019–2025

What drug and device manufacturers reported paying doctors and practitioners with a practice address in the state, added up across seven program years rather than taken in one. General payments only — research funding and ownership interests are separate transactions and are not in it — and a total rather than an average, because the denominator an average needs is how many doctors practice in the state, which neither CMS source publishes.

CMS Open Payments · Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services

Immigration court proceedings

across 3 courts granting asylum at rates from 4.1% to 27.7%

159,958 FY2025

Immigration proceedings the EOIR courts sitting in the state completed in the fiscal year — the courts, not the state’s residents. A detention court hears cases from far outside the state it sits in, so this is not a count of people who live there or of cases that began there. Proceedings, not people: one case can carry several.

Farm payments paid out

6,034 recipients, across 17,953 payments

$358.2 million 2025

What the Farm Service Agency disbursed through the county offices in the state, in one calendar year. It is what those offices administered rather than what the state’s farms received — a recipient addressed in another state is counted where they were paid — and it is one agency: crop insurance is the Risk Management Agency’s and is not in it.

The Farm Service Agency · U.S. Department of Agriculture, Farm Service Agency

PPP loans approved

983,329 loans, 871,843 of them carrying a forgiveness amount

$50.1 billion 2020–2021

Paycheck Protection Program loans SBA guaranteed to businesses operating in the state, as each loan now stands. It counts loans, not businesses — a business with a first and a second draw is two — and it is loans, not grants: what was forgiven or charged off is on the state page, as of the date of SBA’s file.

The SBA · U.S. Small Business Administration

Population

Higher than 48 of the 51 jurisdictions with a figure

23,462,518 July 2025

The Census Bureau’s estimate of the state’s resident population on July 1 of the newest year. It is an estimate and not a census count, and it is revised every year back to 2020, so a later vintage can move it.

The Census Bureau · U.S. Census Bureau

School spending per pupil

28.1% below the national $17,452 per pupil

$12,554 FY2024

Current spending by the state’s public school districts over their fall membership, summed over every district, as NCES divides, for its newest fiscal year. It leaves out buildings, equipment and debt, it is in that year’s dollars, and a district that pays another to teach its pupils counts the tuition as its own spending.

NCES · National Center for Education Statistics, U.S. Department of Education

Bank offices per 100,000 residents

and 5.0 credit-union sites per 100,000 residents

18.0 June 2026

Full-service offices of FDIC-insured banks in the state, counted where each office is, over the Census Bureau’s estimate of the state’s population. A bank headquartered elsewhere counts its offices here; drive-throughs, loan production offices and other limited-service sites are not counted. Credit unions are the NCUA’s and are never added in.

The FDIC · Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation

HUD-subsidized housing per 1,000 residents

and 9.1 tax-credit homes per 1,000 residents

8.7 2025

Homes under HUD’s rental assistance programs in the state at December 31, each home once: public housing, vouchers, project-based Section 8 and HUD’s smaller programs, over the Census Bureau’s estimate of the state’s population. It is not every low-rent home: tax-credit housing is counted apart and never added in, and a household waiting for help is not counted.

HUD · U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, Office of Policy Development and Research

Mortgage loans originated per 1,000 residents

from 931,897 mortgage applications

20.9 2025

Loans lenders reported as originated in the state in the newest year, from the CFPB’s Home Mortgage Disclosure Act files, over the Census Bureau’s estimate of the state’s population. It counts loans, not households, and a loan a lender bought from another is left out; applications that were denied, withdrawn or not accepted are not counted.

The CFPB · Consumer Financial Protection Bureau

Cost of living (U.S. = 100)

3.4% above the national level

103.4 2024

BEA’s regional price parity for all items in the state in the newest year, with the United States at 100. It compares price levels between places in one year, not prices over time, and it is not a measure of income or of what a household spends.

BEA · U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis

Substance use treatment listings per 100,000 residents

ranked 48 of 52 places, the District and Puerto Rico counted

2.3 per 100,000 2025

Listings in SAMHSA’s substance use directory in the state, per 100,000 residents, over the Census Bureau’s estimate of the state’s population. A listing is a program, not a building, and not a license, a rating or a recommendation; a facility is listed only if its state approved it and it answered SAMHSA’s voluntary survey, so this is not a count of all care in the state.

SAMHSA · Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, Center for Behavioral Health Statistics and Quality

Health center patient-care sites per 100,000 residents

ranked 43 of 52 places, the District and Puerto Rico counted

3.2 per 100,000 October 2026

Patient-care sites in HRSA’s Health Center Program in the state, per 100,000 residents, over the Census Bureau’s estimate of the state’s population. A site is a place care is offered, not a count of patients or of health centers, and it measures neither access nor quality.

HRSA · Health Resources and Services Administration, Bureau of Primary Health Care

Pandemic relief to the state government per resident

$42.8 billion in all, from 17 awarding agencies

$1,822 per resident July 2025

Money federal agencies obligated to the state’s own government from the COVID-19 supplemental appropriations, as PRAC’s state workbook records it, per resident over the Census Bureau’s estimate of the state’s population. It is not every award made in the state and holds no PPP loan; an obligation is a commitment to pay, not money spent, and the workbook has no year: it is the total to the date PRAC wrote it.

County health estimates: counties covered

with 33 of CDC’s 40 PLACES measures published for them

67 counties 2023

The counties CDC’s PLACES release covers in the state. It counts counties, not people, and says nothing of how healthy any of them is: the estimates on the county health pages are CDC’s model-based predictions, and a county with too few adults has no estimate.
