Minneapolis, Minnesota · Neighborhood crime trends

Minneapolis North West

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

Crime Trends: Neighborhoods compared - each quarter from Q1 2022

Minneapolis as a whole averaged 14.2 crimes for every 1,000 residents per quarter in Q2 2026, while northwest Minneapolis averaged 17.6 (leaving out 2 places with almost no residents), hence it is generally less safe when all crimes are considered.

How do the 20 neighborhoods of northwest Minneapolis compare? In Q2 2026 the police recorded 1,794 crimes across them, 17.6 for every 1,000 residents. That is 5.9% above a year earlier and 14.2% above Q1 2022, the first quarter we track.

Cleveland has the lowest rate of the everyday neighborhoods (7.4 per 1,000), followed by Shingle Creek (7.7) and McKinley (8.3). Downtown West has the highest (47.2).

Reported Safety Incidents

In Q2 2026: property incidents were 44% (797), vehicle crimes were 37% (670), violent incidents were 18% (327) and public order incidents were 0% (0).

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: Q2 2023: property up 32% while the total moved 9%; Q3 2023: property up 27% while the total moved 8%. The whole-area rate is the steadier guide.

Places we left out, and places to read with care

Left out: Camden Industrial; Humboldt Industrial Area. They have almost no residents: their crimes are against visitors, so a rate per resident says little about living there.

Marshall Terrace (10.2 per 1,000 from 15 crimes among 1,472 residents), Sumner - Glenwood (7.8 per 1,000 from 17 crimes among 2,181 residents) and Bryn - Mawr (5.8 per 1,000 from 16 crimes among 2,770 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.

Neighborhood boundaries are defined by the City of Minneapolis, grouped into four quarters of the city 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.
