Top 3 Pedophile Infested States and Florida Makes the List

As a Realtor who sells mostly vacation homes here in Florida the last thing I want to try and do is convince you NOT to move to Florida however, at the end of the day I'm more interested in giving you the facts than the fantasy. As a mother to a little girl, I am always checking on crime statistics and such in my area. I always want to know what's going on so I can protect my family and as I was checking out some statistics today I came across some interesting facts on the National Sex Offender Registry.

According to these statistics Florida has much more to offer than just sun and fun. Apparently it has its fair share of registered sex offenders roaming among us in droves. Lets take a look at these alarming statistics and see how we stack up.

1. California 62,269
California rakes in the pedophiles with a whopping 62,269. I'm sure the fact that it's such a large state does contribute to the large number however that's a lot of pervs running lose in one state!

2. Texas 57912
So dry the catfish are carrying canteens and at 57,912 they are probably carrying some serious pepper spray as well.

3. Florida 50,207
Well, I don't know about you but this figure sure doesn't make me proud to be a Floridian at this very moment. Basically for every one million people you see 3084.2 of them are registered sex offenders.

Before you throw the baby out with the bath water there are some factors to think about. You may want to consider doing a little research into the neighborhood you will be buying in because not all parts of Florida are considered high risk areas. There are areas of Central Florida that are known to be much safer than others according to these type of demographic facts. For example, Windermere was voted the number one city to raise a family in the entire state of Florida due to very low crime statistics.
