Baton Rouge, Louisiana · Neighborhood crime trends

Baton Rouge District 5

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

Crime Trends: Neighborhoods compared - each quarter from Q1 2022

Baton Rouge as a whole averaged 27.4 crimes for every 1,000 residents per quarter in Q2 2026, while Metro Council District 5 averaged 37.9 (leaving out 6 places with almost no residents), hence it is generally less safe when all crimes are considered.

How do the 9 neighborhoods of Metro Council District 5 compare? In Q2 2026 the police recorded 887 crimes across them, 37.9 for every 1,000 residents. That is 7.9% above a year earlier and 3.7% above Q1 2022, the first quarter we track.

Park Forest has the lowest rate of the everyday neighborhoods (15.3 per 1,000), followed by Forest Heights (23.6) and Glen Oaks (33.8). St. Gerard has the highest (54.9).

Reported Safety Incidents

In Q2 2026: property incidents were 45% (402), violent incidents were 18% (163), vehicle crimes were 14% (120) and public order incidents were 11% (100).

Recorded crime here is grouped into violent crime, property crime (burglary and theft), vehicle crime and public order offences, so you can compare how safe each neighborhood is for the kind of crime that matters to you.

Places we left out, and places to read with care

Left out: Comite Estates; El Scott; Forest Heights Park; Mickens Place; Monticello; Park Forest East. They have almost no residents: their crimes are against visitors, so a rate per resident says little about living there.

Kildare (44.8 per 1,000 from 30 crimes among 669 residents), Oak Forest (8.3 per 1,000 from 10 crimes among 1,197 residents), West Merrydale (55.3 per 1,000 from 97 crimes among 1,755 residents) and Zion City (43.9 per 1,000 from 94 crimes among 2,143 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.

Sources and notes

CrimesLog sources crime incident data published by the Baton Rouge Police Department (BRPD) through the Open Data BR platform (data.brla.gov), containing public sector information released under a Public Domain licence.

Population: U.S. Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-year estimates (public domain).

Neighborhood boundaries are defined by EBRGIS, City of Baton Rouge / Parish of East Baton Rouge (gaps between neighborhood areas filled to the nearest neighborhood by CrimesLog), grouped into Metro Council districts and simplified by CrimesLog. The photographs are credited under each picture.

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.
