The safety picture

A plain-language read of the sourced figures below

Orlando scores 59 out of 100 in our composite, safer than about 23% of the cities we rank.

The homicide rate is 10.3 per 100,000, a clean city-level figure running roughly 6.4 times the median across tracked cities. Robbery sits at 137.1 per 100,000, also measured for the city, and police records miss the incidents that go unreported, so the true level is higher. Canada, the UK, and Australia each hold the United States at their lowest advisory level, while still naming pickpocketing and scams as risks for visitors. A national survey put the share of people who feel safe walking alone at night at 60%, though that result covers the whole country and not Orlando specifically.

The radar shows the three sourced, comparable risk measures (homicide, robbery, the strictest travel-advisory level). Tourist petty-crime signals are a different kind of measure — how often advisories mention them — so they are shown as rows under Tourist-specific incidents, not as radar axes.
