Just like most places, Jacksonville is not all safe, nor all dangerous. The overall crime rate may be a little above the state’s and country’s average. But still, many parts remain relatively safe. Remember, Jacksonville is a big city.
It’s currently safer than only 8% of the country’s other states. Most reported crimes are targeting properties, not individuals. But that doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t stay alert with the happenings around you. Some of the safest places in Jacksonville are Mandarin, Greenland, Mayport, Greenfield, and Jacksonville Naval Air Station.
