Is Marina safe?
Marina records more reported crime than most San Francisco neighborhoods. Its SafeRoute safety index is 51 out of 100 — 6 points below the citywide median of 57, ranking 26th of 41 SF neighborhoods — based on 702 incidents reported to the SFPD within 1 km of the neighborhood center (data through July 2026).
Most of what's reported here is property-related — other theft alone is 47% of reports — rather than violence against strangers, though the full mix below is worth a look.
Timing matters here: about 30% of severity-weighted incidents are reported overnight (midnight–6 a.m.), so route choice late at night matters more than the headline number suggests.

How is the Marina safety index calculated?
SafeRoute weights each incident reported to the SFPD 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.
