Best Orlando Neighborhoods: ZIP Scores Compared (2026 Guide)
By Sharon Ben-Moshe · August 28, 2026
This data-led guide compares the four highest-scoring covered Orlando ZIP codes in NeighborScore’s current model. See safety/crime and school components beside May 2026 home-value context, source notes, and cautions for local research.
NeighborScore’s current ZIP-level comparison places the leading covered Orlando ZIP at 90/100. The composite weighs safety/crime at 53% and schools at 47%; the May 2026 home-value figure is separate context and does not change the ranking.
- ZIP 32827 leads the four covered Orlando ZIPs in this guide at 90/100.
- The leading ZIP’s component scores are 95/100 for safety/crime and 85/100 for schools.
- The four May 2026 stored home-value figures span $472,314 to $644,543; price is not part of the composite.
- This is a transparent comparison of covered ZIPs, not a claim about every Orlando neighborhood.
Which Orlando ZIP codes score highest?
The four ZIP codes below are the highest-scoring covered entries in this current Orlando comparison. Reading the component scores beside the composite is more informative than treating one citywide label as a complete answer.
- ZIP 32827 — overall 90; safety/crime 95; schools 85; May 2026 stored home-value figure $644,543.
- ZIP 32832 — overall 88; safety/crime 95; schools 80; May 2026 stored home-value figure $530,407.
- ZIP 32828 — overall 87; safety/crime 95; schools 79; May 2026 stored home-value figure $472,314.
- ZIP 32803 — overall 86; safety/crime 95; schools 75; May 2026 stored home-value figure $476,145.
A tie in one component can still produce a different composite when the other scored pillar differs. The component split belongs beside the headline number because it shows how the ZIP results compare.
How Orlando ZIP scores are calculated
NeighborScore is a comparative research model, not a forecast. Its composite uses a 53% safety/crime weight and a 47% school weight. Read the full data sources and scoring methodology before using a ZIP result in a real-world decision.
The safety/crime pillar draws from FBI Crime Data Explorer reporting and, where available, higher-resolution public incident data. The school pillar draws on public NCES and EDFacts data. Coverage, geography, and refresh dates can differ by ZIP, so the results are comparative rather than absolute.
Method note: this guide orders the current stored Orlando results by overall score, then keeps the two underlying pillars visible. A ZIP score summarizes documented inputs but cannot describe every block, home, or person’s experience.
How to use the Orlando ZIP comparison
Start with the component that matters most, then open each ZIP profile for data notes. A school-focused reader should inspect the school pillar; a safety-focused reader should inspect the safety/crime tier and source vintage rather than relying only on the composite.
For a related view, see NeighborScore’s Miami vs. Orlando ZIP-score comparison. Then return to the ZIP profiles above to compare like-for-like inputs.
A ZIP score cannot confirm school assignment, guarantee personal safety, value a specific home, or replace current local research. Verify enrollment rules, housing condition, commute, accessibility, and primary-source updates before deciding where to live.
Bottom line: use Orlando ZIP scores as a research starting point
ZIP 32827 leads this current four-ZIP Orlando comparison at 90/100. Use the result to narrow research, then verify the latest official and local information.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does the NeighborScore composite measure in Orlando?
The NeighborScore composite compares covered Orlando ZIP codes using a documented model that weights safety/crime at 53% and schools at 47%. It is a comparative research signal, not a prediction, appraisal, school assignment, or personal safety recommendation.
Which Orlando ZIP leads this four-ZIP comparison?
ZIP 32827 leads the four ZIP codes in this guide with an overall NeighborScore of 90/100. The guide is limited to the covered ZIPs shown and does not rank every neighborhood or ZIP in Orlando.
Do home values change a Orlando NeighborScore?
No. NeighborScore displays the May 2026 ZIP-level home-value figure as housing context, while the composite itself uses only safety/crime and school pillars. A higher or lower home-value figure therefore does not change a ZIP’s composite score.
How should a person use a Orlando ZIP score?
Use a Orlando ZIP score as one transparent starting point. Review component scores, data-vintage notes, current listings, official school enrollment information, and local conditions before making a relocation, housing, or enrollment decision.
