19 neighborhoods - a quarterly race to the lowest crime rate.

Crime Trends: Neighborhoods compared - each quarter from Q1 2022

Baltimore as a whole averaged 22.7 crimes for every 1,000 residents per quarter in Q2 2026, while north Northeastern District averaged 10.7 (leaving out 1 place with almost no residents), hence it is generally safer when all crimes are considered.

How do the 19 neighborhoods of north Northeastern District compare? In Q2 2026 the police recorded 601 crimes across them, 10.7 for every 1,000 residents. That is 12.1% above a year earlier and 9.5% above Q1 2022, the first quarter we track.

Lauraville has the lowest rate of the everyday neighborhoods (6.4 per 1,000), followed by North Harford Road (8.9) and Westfield (10.1). New Northwood has the highest (16.4).

A little history

Northeastern District (north) in Baltimore. Baltimore was designated an independent city by the Constitution of Maryland in 1851 and is not under the jurisdiction of any county. Northeastern District (north) takes in the northeastern corner of the city, where Hamilton Hills meets the Baltimore County line, along with other neighborhoods of northeast Baltimore.

Notable neighborhoods in Baltimore's Northeastern District (north) include:

Hamilton Hills and Hamilton. Hamilton Hills is a mixed-use suburban neighborhood in the northeastern corner of Baltimore. It is a section of Hamilton, a larger historic area that includes other neighborhoods in Northeast Baltimore. Harford Road, its main thoroughfare, has been an integral part of the area's history. Its borders are Old Harford Road and Harford Road to the east, Echodale Avenue to the south, Perring Parkway to the west and the Baltimore County line to the north.

Lauraville and Morgan State University. Lauraville is bounded by Harford Road on the east and Echodale Avenue on the north, with East Cold Spring Lane passing through its center. Morgan State University is a public research university. In 1890, then the Centenary Biblical Institute, it changed its name to honor Lyttleton Morgan, the first chairman of its board of trustees and a donor. It became a university in 1975.

Places we left out, and places to read with care

Left out: Mt Pleasant Park. They have almost no residents: their crimes are against visitors, so a rate per resident says little about living there.

Taylor Heights (2.8 per 1,000 from 1 crime among 360 residents), Morgan Park (3.9 per 1,000 from 2 crimes among 508 residents), Overlea (2.7 per 1,000 from 2 crimes among 739 residents), Stonewood-Pentwood-Winston (10.7 per 1,000 from 12 crimes among 1,126 residents), Woodbourne Heights (21.8 per 1,000 from 28 crimes among 1,283 residents), Rosemont East (8.5 per 1,000 from 13 crimes among 1,523 residents), Morgan State University (4.6 per 1,000 from 7 crimes among 1,532 residents), Hillen (15.5 per 1,000 from 33 crimes among 2,134 residents), Ramblewood (6.3 per 1,000 from 14 crimes among 2,214 residents), Cedmont (12.5 per 1,000 from 29 crimes among 2,324 residents), Perring Loch (11.8 per 1,000 from 28 crimes among 2,378 residents) and Idlewood (7.6 per 1,000 from 19 crimes among 2,487 residents) are places with few residents (under 3,000): a rate on so few people says little about living there, so they are not named as the lowest or highest.

Rates are recorded crimes per 1,000 residents, quarter by quarter; where a neighborhood has fewer than 100 residents the rate would be worked out on 100 (those places are left out of the race). A count of recorded crime is not a verdict on any neighborhood.
