Side-by-side comparison of reported crime activity. Based on LAPD public data.
This comparison does not account for population differences between neighborhoods.
Context matters. Incident counts reflect only crimes that were reported
and recorded. Higher counts may reflect more reporting, not necessarily more crime.
City average: 811 incidents per neighborhood per month
(October through Oct 3).
October 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.
