Frisco's numbers pull in two directions. Both crime rates sit well below national levels, violent 73% below and property 49% below, yet the city lands in the 57th percentile of the 13,216 jurisdictions SafeNest grades, and the violent crime rate rose 17.5% year over year in 2024, a pattern SafeNest classifies as worsening. Low absolute figures, moving the wrong way. Schools are steadier: 67 rated schools average 8.4/10, middle schools 8.9 and elementary 8.2, with Memorial H S at 10.0. The flood context is state-level, not local: 44 FEMA declarations between 1953 and 2026 describe Texas, not Frisco, and never a parcel. Everything here is a city-wide average. The block you buy on can sit anywhere inside it, and that gap is what an address-level report closes.

Flood & natural hazard risk
Federal disaster records for Texas — the state SafeNest uses for Frisco's flood context — list 44 FEMA flood disaster declarations between 1953 and 2026, most recently "Flooding". Texas has also seen 27 hurricane or tropical-storm declarations, events that frequently drive flooding. These are state-level federal declarations, not a parcel-level flood-zone determination — a specific Frisco address may sit inside or well outside a FEMA flood zone, which SafeNest does not determine; check FEMA's flood maps and flood-insurance requirements for that address.
Schools in Frisco
Public schools in Frisco average 8.4/10 on the SafeNest School Score across 67 rated schools. By level, middle schools rate strongest at 8.9/10 on average, while elementary schools average 8.2/10. The highest-scoring is Memorial H S at 10.0/10.
Registered offenders
Registered-offender data is meaningful only at the address level, so SafeNest does not publish a city-wide figure for Frisco: a single citywide number would blend blocks with very different profiles and mislead more than it informs. Registered offender counts by distance band for any specific Frisco address are included in a SafeNest report, drawn directly from the state's public registry. The iPhone app shows that count free for any address, and maps each registrant with Premium.
