Common questions

Is Milan safe at night?

Elevated overall (safety index 33/100). About 43% of severity-weighted incidents in Milan are dispatched between 6 p.m. and 6 a.m. At night, prefer lit, busier streets — a block or two of detour often avoids the clusters on the map above.

What is the most common crime in Milan?

Violent crime — 352 of 1,295 incidents (27%) dispatched within 1 km of the neighborhood center over the 10 months to November 2026.

How is the Milan safety index calculated?

SafeRoute weights each crime-related 911 call the NOPD was dispatched to by severity (violence weighs more than shoplifting), sums the last available period within 1 km of the neighborhood center, and normalizes against citywide rates onto a 0–100 scale — higher is safer. New Orleans is scored on dispatch calls rather than filed reports, because NOPD's report series carries no location data — so a call here means police were sent, not that an offense was confirmed. It is not a guarantee of safety. The scale is calibrated within New Orleans, so scores compare neighborhoods to each other and cannot be read against another city's.
