Let's face it, Jacksonville, you're a wild one. Between the sunshine, the surf, and the occasional gator wrangling contest, there's always something happening in this Florida favorite. But lately, some folks have been whispering about a rather morbid topic: how many folks haven't quite made it to that next beach bonfire.
Hold on to your pool floats, because we're about to dive into the not-so-deep end of Jacksonville's death statistics.
Now, before you start prepping your apocalypse bunker, here's the good news: Jacksonville isn't exactly a warzone. In fact, it's a thriving city with a whole lot of living going on.

There are a few ways to find out how many folks shuffled off this mortal coil in Duval County (that's Jacksonville for the geographically challenged). The lovely folks at the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office keep a handy-dandy database tracking homicides [Jacksonville Homicide Data - JSO Open Data].
Here's the TL;DR (too long; didn't read) version: As of today, June 29th, 2024, there have been a total of 34 homicides reported in Jacksonville. That might sound like a scary number, but hey, Jacksonville's a big city!
Here's the even better news: The clearance rate for these cases is pretty darn impressive, sitting at around 41%. So, while some scoundrels might be getting their wings a little early, justice is on the case.
QuickTip: Don’t just scroll — process what you see.
