DATA THROUGH NOVEMBER 2026 · 9 MONTHS OF DATA

The 0–100 scale is calibrated to Minneapolis — a typical Minneapolis neighborhood sits near 55. It ranks Kenny against other neighborhoods here, and cannot be read against a score in another city.

Most of what's reported here is property-related — vehicle crime alone is 49% of reports — rather than violence against strangers, though the full mix below is worth a look.

How is the Kenny safety index calculated?

SafeRoute weights each incident reported to the Minneapolis 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 Minneapolis, so scores compare neighborhoods to each other and cannot be read against another city's.
