Is Presidio safe?

Presidio sits at the safer end of San Francisco by reported crime. Its SafeRoute safety index is 99 out of 100 — 48 points above the citywide median of 51, ranking 1st of 41 SF neighborhoods — based on 6 incidents reported to the SFPD within 1 km of the neighborhood center over the 9 months to November 2026. Most of this area is parkland rather than housing, so a low count reflects how few people live here rather than how safe the streets are.

How is the Presidio 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. The scale is calibrated within San Francisco, so scores compare neighborhoods to each other and cannot be read against another city's.
