Neighborhood safety · Dallas · data through September 2026

How safe is your Dallas neighborhood?

SafeRoute scores Dallas neighborhoods 0–100 from incidents reported to the Dallas Police Department — severity-weighted, within 1 km of each neighborhood's center, normalized citywide. Higher is safer. The same data powers the SafeRoute app's crime-aware walking routes.

These figures describe reported crime around each neighborhood's center — they are informational, not a judgment of any community. Dallas's entertainment districts sit low on this index because a night-time crowd reports more incidents, not because a resident's street is dangerous. Citywide median index: 55/100.

Methodology

Each incident reported to the Dallas Police Department (via Dallas Open Data) is weighted by severity — violence counts for more than shoplifting. For every neighborhood we sum weighted incidents within 1 km of its center over the last twelve months, and normalize against Dallas's own rates onto a 0–100 index, higher = safer. The scale is calibrated to Dallas and cannot be read against another city's number. Boundaries are the City of Dallas GIS registry of neighborhood associations, cleaned to place names — "Deep Ellum Community Association" is published as Deep Ellum. That registry covers the parts of Dallas that organized, not every square mile, so this is a guide to the neighborhoods it names rather than a map of the whole city, and a few pages describe overlapping ground. Where a published center sat in parkland or a creek corridor rather than among houses, it has been moved to the deepest built-up point inside the same boundary. Time-of-day charts use Dallas PD occurrence times, severity-weighted. Pages regenerate as new data is published.

The index compares areas within Dallas. It is not comparable between cities: each police force publishes a different set of offences over a different period — Dallas's figures cannot be read against another city's on the same 0–100 scale.
