Overall safety score

“Go. Black Hammock is a peaceful, semi-rural pocket along Lake Jesup that is exceptionally safe from violent and property crime. While human-driven crime risks are minimal, visitors should stay mindful of local wildlife and exercise caution when driving on narrow, unlit rural roads at night.”

About the area

Semi-RuralOld Florida NatureCar-DependentSecluded / Peaceful

Black Hammock is an Old Florida agricultural enclave nestled between Sanford and Oviedo on the southern shores of Lake Jesup. Dominated by lush hammock canopy, plant nurseries, equestrian properties, and swamp tours, the area offers a quiet escape from urban Orlando. Visitors primarily visit for airboat excursions, waterfront dining, and scenic rural tranquility.

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.
