Is Southeastern safe?

Southeastern sits at the safer end of Baltimore by reported crime. Its SafeRoute safety index is 91 out of 100 — 39 points above the citywide median of 52, ranking 3rd of 56 Baltimore community statistical areas — based on 102 incidents reported to the Baltimore Police within 1 km of the area center over the 8 months to September 2026. Much of this area is marine terminal and industrial land rather than housing, so a low count reflects how few people are here rather than how safe the streets are.

How is the Southeastern safety index calculated?

SafeRoute weights each incident reported to the Baltimore Police Department by severity (violence weighs more than shoplifting), sums the last available period within 1 km of the area center, and normalizes against citywide crime rates onto a 0–100 scale — higher is safer. It describes reported crime only; it is not a guarantee of safety. The scale is calibrated within Baltimore, so scores compare areas to each other and cannot be read against another city's.
