Property Crime & Theft Risk

Renters insurance pricing is driven by property crime — theft, burglary, and vehicle break-ins — not violent crime. Here's what the FBI's Uniform Crime Reporting data shows for Tampa.

995 per 100K residents

Property crime rate in Tampa

Flood insurance strongly recommended — standard renters policies exclude flood damage.

What to know about flood insurance as a renter:

  • Your landlord's building policy does not cover your belongings
  • NFIP (National Flood Insurance Program) offers renters policies starting around $99/year
  • Private carriers (Neptune, Wright Flood) may offer lower rates
  • Most flood claims in this zone are for personal property, not structural damage

Flood zone data from FEMA National Flood Hazard Layer (NFHL). Zones can change — verify at FEMA Flood Map Service.
