Is Northeast Industrial District safe?

Northeast Industrial District sits at the safer end of Kansas City by reported crime. Its SafeRoute safety index is 78 out of 100 — 23 points above the citywide median of 55, ranking 47th of 243 Kansas City neighborhoods — based on 66 incidents reported to the KCPD within 1 km of the neighborhood center over the 8 months to September 2026. Much of this area is industrial, river-bottom or undeveloped land rather than housing, so a low count reflects how few people are here rather than how safe the streets are.

How is the Northeast Industrial District safety index calculated?

SafeRoute weights each incident reported to the Kansas City Police Department by severity (violence weighs more than shoplifting), sums the last available period within 1 km of the neighborhood 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 Kansas City, so scores compare neighborhoods to each other and cannot be read against another city's.
