Context matters. Incident counts reflect only crimes that were reported and recorded. Higher counts may reflect more reporting, not necessarily more crime. City average: 397 incidents per neighborhood per month (June through Jun 27). June data collection is ongoing — figures will increase.

This comparison is based on reported crimes only and should not be interpreted as a definitive statement about the safety of either neighborhood. Factors such as population density, reporting culture, and data lag all affect these figures.

Data & Methodology

Data source: Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) crime records, sourced from the LA City Open Data Portal. Covers reported incidents from 2020 to present, updated regularly. Only active, non-duplicate records are counted.

Neighborhood boundaries correspond to LAPD patrol divisions, not city-defined neighborhood boundaries. An incident is assigned to a division based on the reporting area recorded in the original data.

Limitations: Reported incident counts reflect only crimes that were reported to and recorded by LAPD. Under-reporting means actual incident rates may be higher. Data may have delays of several days to weeks depending on the source dataset. A reported incident does not imply guilt or conviction.

Last database update: July 22, 2026.
