Hialeah, Florida, is home to 210,542 people. The number of Floridians calling this city home causes it rank as the sixth biggest city in the state and the 95th largest city in the U.S.
Though not considered a large city, it sees its fair share of crime. According to the Uniform Crime Report put out by the FBI in 2008, the majority of that crime is property crime. Based on the numbers, an incidence of property crime occurs once every 53 minutes in Hialeah. Additionally, there was also an increase in burglaries from 2007 to 2008, with a burglary taking place once every five hours and 15 minutes. As the city continues to grow, it is likely the property crime rate will as well — unless residents begin to take Hialeah home security into their own hands.
