Fail. Jacksonville has about 4 times the amount of people as Orlando and is the largest city in FL. Orlando is actually the 5th largest city behind Jacksonville, Miami, Tampa, and St. Pete.

Orlando:
Population (year 2000): 185,951
Jacksonville:
Population (year 2000): 735,617

tHE POLICE ARE TOTALLY OUT OF TOUCH IN ORLANDO. fIRST OFF WHEN I SAY ORLANDO I MEAN ALL SURROUNDING CITIES SUCH AS ALTAMONTE SPRINGS,APOPKA, SANFORD,LONGWOOD LAKE MARY U GET THE IDEA.
eACH OF THESE POLICE DEPTS WOULD RATHER FOCUS ON PETTY MISDEAMEANORS AND CONDUCTING ILLEAGAL SEARCHES THAN ACTUALLY RESPONDING TO VIOLENT CRIMES ROBBERIES RAPES AND MURDER.
wITH ALL THE CRIME RATES SKYROCKETING, ORLANDO POLICE ARE DOWNSIZING AND TAKING AWAY OVERTIME. tHEY EVEN STOPPED THEIR GANG AND DRUG UNITS I HEAR. AS A WHOLE, ORLANDO POLICE CAN DO MUCH BETTER AT PREVENTING CRIME AT ALL LEVELS. STOP PULLING PEOPLE OVER FOR NONSENSE AND START PAYING ATTENTION TO THE STREETS.
WE HAVE TO MANY PEOPLE MOVING TO ORLANDO FROM ALL OVER AND WHEN THEY COME HERE THEY BRING THEIR WAYS WITH THEM. THATS THE PROBLEM. POLICE NEED TO LEARN HOW TO ADAPT TO A CHANGING CITY.
THE SOUTH IS A WILDWILDWEST TYPE OF PLACE. MUCH OF THE GUN SELLS NATIONWIDE COME FROM THE SOUTH. FLORIDA HAS THE MOST RIDICULOUS LAWS AS A STATE AND ITS BITTING THEM ON THE ASS NOW, PROBLEM IS WITH ALL THE GREED IN FLORIDA ITS US THE PEOPLE WHO SUFFER AND THAT NEEDS TO STOP.

Don't they have a rule against all caps; that is not easy to read.

I think people are confusing Metro sizes and city limits sizes between the Florida cities on the previous posts.
Metro areas it is: South Florida, Tampa, Orlando, Jacksonville.
City limits, it is: Jacksonville, Miami, Tampa, St Petersburg, Hialeah, Orlando, Ft Lauderdale, etc.
I personally think that city limits are a horrible basis for comparison and comparing two cities stats should be based off the metropolitan areas for a better grasp.

Yeah, you got that right. As for the violent crime rates in Orlando, Frommer's compiled the data for the entire nearly 2 million population of Orlando and came out with about 800 incidents per 100,000 people. That is one of the highest in the nation, just behind Baltimore, Detroit, St. Louis. Worse than Philly, San Francisco, Houston, Dallas, LA, New York. If you stick to the right neighborhoods, it can be safer to live in a bigger city, but in Orlando, the ghettos are all around us. You might be safe in the Villages as long as you're not a sexually active senior citizen looking for a good time.

Care to post a link or something to back up that data? Highly doubtful...

Please..remember posting in all caps in considered 'yelling' on the internet, plus it is very hard to read..

Thanks

This is classic, people in Orlando choose to believe that which they wish were true, it's human nature. People on the board actually say I love the heat and humidity hear and the crime rate is not bad, who are they fooling???

Yeah, people like dbansal are living in a bubble where they conveniently miss everything negative about a place they love. It's good to be positive in life, but you shouldn't ignorantly portray a place as being better than it is to people who are thinking of moving there. By the way dbansal, just check all the crime stats on THIS (City Data's own) website and see the numbers for yourself. The numbers on here are even worse than the Frommer's stats that I quoted earlier. Compare it to Miami @ 19.6 murders/100,000 people, Orlando: 22.6 murders/100,000 people. Overall Orlando has 50% higher crime per capita than Miami. see for yourself: Orlando, Florida (FL) Detailed Profile - relocation, real estate, travel, jobs, hospitals, schools, crime, news, sex offenders, Miami, Florida (FL) Detailed Profile - relocation, real estate, travel, jobs, hospitals, schools, crime, news, sex offenders
