How safe is your Denver neighborhood?

SafeRoute scores every Denver neighborhood 0–100 from offenses reported to the Denver Police Department — severity-weighted, within 1 km of each area'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. Citywide median index: 56/100.

Methodology

Each offense reported to the Denver Police Department (via Denver Open Data) is weighted by severity — violence counts for more than shoplifting. For every neighborhood we sum weighted offenses within 1 km of its center, and normalize against citywide crime rates onto a 0–100 index, higher = safer. Boundaries are the City and County of Denver's official statistical neighborhoods. Denver's neighborhoods are relatively large, so 1 km circles overlap less than in denser cities and adjacent areas separate more cleanly. Time-of-day charts use DPD offense timestamps, severity-weighted. Pages regenerate as new data is published.

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