I do not believe students, certainly not those in University provided housing, are included in the calculations. Neither are the people who come to the City each day as the largest employment center in region. The real population (especially during legislative session and when Colleges are running) is likely underestimated by close to 75,000 people.
While they may not be the “suspects” they certainly make up a percentage of the victims (home and auto burglaries, sexual battery) and the City effectively disregards them when considering the Police Department’s staffing.

My guess is that the numbers do not reflect the student population unless the student was already a resident of Leon County. If college students counted , that would be an increase of about 50,000 to our population. Any crimes that non-students may commit ARE, however, counted in the statistic. We would be right around Brevard county.
