Overall safety score

“Go with care. Belle Glade is a deeply rural, agricultural hub with significant cultural roots and great access to Lake Okeechobee, but it faces persistent violent and property crime challenges. Visitors should stick to designated recreation spots, campus areas, and daytime visits while avoiding unfamiliar residential side streets after dark.”

About the area

Rural AgriculturalLakefront AccessCar-DependentEconomically Distressed

Situated on the southeastern shore of Lake Okeechobee in the heart of Florida's sugarland, Belle Glade is a small, historically agricultural city. It offers world-class freshwater bass fishing, access to the Lake Okeechobee Scenic Trail, and local cultural arts, balanced against deep economic challenges and elevated crime rates.

Scores are safety-driven: recent crime levels and local news, plus Census data on income and poverty, housing, education and household make-up, and access to vehicles, internet and health coverage. Walk and bike scores are shown separately and do not affect the safety score. A guide, not a guarantee. Neighborhood outlines come from official city and US Census boundary data.
