Reported Safety Incidents

In Q2 2026: property incidents were 42% (153), violent incidents were 17% (62), vehicle crimes were 16% (58) and public order incidents were 14% (50).

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: El Scott; Forest Heights Park; Mickens Place. 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) is a place with few residents (under 3,000): a rate on so few people says little about living there, so it is not named as the lowest or highest.

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.
