Los Angeles as a whole averaged 14.4 crimes for every 1,000 residents per quarter in Q2 2026, while Central LA averaged 22.9 (leaving out 1 place with almost no residents), hence it is generally less safe when all crimes are considered.

How do the 24 neighborhoods of Central LA compare? In Q2 2026 the police recorded 18,322 crimes across them, 22.9 for every 1,000 residents. That is 5.2% above a year earlier and 6.9% above Q1 2022, the first quarter we track.

Los Feliz has the lowest rate of the everyday neighborhoods (8.2 per 1,000), followed by Elysian Valley (9.5) and Windsor Square (9.7). Downtown has the highest (73.6).

A little history

Central LA in Los Angeles. Los Angeles is the most populous city in California and the commercial, financial, and cultural center of Southern California. Central Los Angeles is the historical urban region of the city, containing downtown Los Angeles and several nearby regions in southwest Los Angeles County.

Notable neighborhoods in Central LA include:

Silver Lake and Los Feliz. Silver Lake was originally home to a small community called Ivanhoe, named in honor of the 1819 novel by Walter Scott. In 1907, the Los Angeles Water Department built the Silver Lake Reservoir, named for LA Water commissioner Herman Silver, which gave the neighborhood its name. Los Feliz is a hillside neighborhood named after the Feliz family of Californios, who had owned the area since 1795, when José Vicente Féliz was granted Rancho Los Feliz.

Hollywood and Hollywood Hills. Hollywood's name has become synonymous with the American film industry. Film studios such as Universal Pictures, Skydance Motion Picture Group, Walt Disney Studios and Sony Pictures are located in or near it. The neighboring Hollywood Hills area includes the Hollywood Sign, the Hollywood Bowl, the Hollywood Reservoir and the John Anson Ford Theater.

Reported Safety Incidents

In Q2 2026: property incidents were 40% (7,246), violent incidents were 24% (4,395), vehicle crimes were 20% (3,703) and public order incidents were 15% (2,741).

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.

Read category comparisons with care. A category that jumps while the total hardly moves looks like a change in how offences are classified, not in what happened: Q3 2024: public order up 50% while the total moved 9%; Q2 2025: public order up 30% while the total moved 2%. The whole-area rate is the steadier guide.

Places we left out, and places to read with care

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

Elysian Park (22.3 per 1,000 from 54 crimes among 2,421 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.

Sources and notes

CrimesLog sources crime incident data published by the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) through the City of Los Angeles Open Data Portal (data.lacity.org), containing public sector information released under the Los Angeles Open Data Portal Terms of Use.

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

First-place medal: 1st Place Medal emoji icon by Icons8.

Neighborhood boundaries are defined by Mapping L.A. (Los Angeles Times, CC BY 4.0), grouped into five areas of the city by CrimesLog 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.
