Neighborhood safety · Detroit · data through November 2026
How safe is your Detroit neighborhood?
SafeRoute scores every Detroit neighborhood 0–100 from incidents reported to the Detroit 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. Citywide median index: 59/100.

Walking in Detroit at night?

Each incident reported to the Detroit Police Department (RMS crime incidents, via City of Detroit 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, and normalize against citywide rates onto a 0–100 index, higher = safer. Boundaries are the city's own 205 official neighborhoods, grouped by the 7 City Council districts published in the same layer. Four are not scored because nobody lives in them — Belle Isle, the state park island in the river, and the Conner Creek, Russell and West Side industrial belts — where near-zero reported crime would read as falsely "safe" rather than as empty land. Detroit's neighborhoods are small and closely spaced, so the 1 km circles around adjacent centers overlap and neighbouring areas will show similar figures. Time-of-day charts use DPD incident timestamps, severity-weighted. Pages regenerate as new data is published.
The index compares areas within Detroit. It is not comparable between cities: each police force publishes a different set of offences over a different period — Detroit's figures cannot be read against another city's on the same 0–100 scale.
