Safest Neighborhoods

Safety Index Rankings — Last 30 Days

Rankings are based on reported crimes only. A lower incident count does not guarantee safety — factors including population density and reporting rates vary by neighborhood. Rank 1 = fewest reported incidents relative to the city average.

About the Safety Index

The Safety Index is a composite score (5–95) calculated from:

Score bands: 75–95 Low Crime · 55–74 Below Average · 35–54 Average · 15–34 Above Average · 5–14 High Crime

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: Sept. 5, 2026.
