A little history

San Fernando Valley and Verdugos in Los Angeles. Los Angeles is the most populous city in California and the commercial, financial, and cultural center of Southern California. San Fernando Valley and Verdugos is part of the city, and its neighborhoods include Van Nuys, Sylmar, and North Hollywood. Sylmar is the northernmost neighborhood in Los Angeles, while Van Nuys is home to Van Nuys Airport and the Valley Municipal Building.

Notable neighborhoods in San Fernando Valley and Verdugos include:

Canoga Park and Reseda. Canoga Park was part of a rancho before the Mexican–American War, then became wheat farms. Part of it was named Owensmouth, a town founded in 1912. Los Angeles annexed it in 1917, and it was renamed Canoga Park on March 1, 1931, after Canoga, New York. Reseda was also founded in 1912, and its central business district began developing in 1915.

Sylmar and Valley Glen. Sylmar's olive orchards trace back to the 18th century and the founding of the San Fernando Mission; systematic olive production began in 1890. Valley Glen, once part of Van Nuys and North Hollywood, became a separate neighborhood in 1998. It is home to Los Angeles Valley College and the Great Wall of Los Angeles, a California-history mural.

Reported Safety Incidents

In Q2 2026: property incidents were 39% (6,148), vehicle crimes were 23% (3,679), violent incidents were 23% (3,647) and public order incidents were 14% (2,206).

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: Q1 2025: public order up 37% while the total moved 1%. The whole-area rate is the steadier guide.

Places we left out, and places to read with care

Left out: Chatsworth Reservoir; Hansen Dam. They have almost no residents: their crimes are against visitors, so a rate per resident says little about living there.

Sepulveda Basin (263.6 per 1,000 from 87 crimes among 330 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.

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.

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.
