Washington DC South

Name: Crimes per 1,000 residents by neighborhood, South, Q1 2022 to Q2 2026
Creator: CrimesLog

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

Crime Trends: Neighborhoods compared - each quarter from Q1 2022

Washington DC as a whole averaged 8.0 crimes for every 1,000 residents per quarter in Q2 2026, while south Washington DC averaged 8.5 (leaving out 1 place with almost no residents), hence it is generally less safe when all crimes are considered.

How do the 22 neighborhoods of south Washington DC compare? In Q2 2026 the police recorded 2,765 crimes across them, 8.5 for every 1,000 residents. That is 22.6% below a year earlier and 16.2% below Q1 2022, the first quarter we track.

Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling has the lowest rate of the everyday neighborhoods (1.6 per 1,000), followed by West End, Foggy Bottom, GWU (4.1) and Capitol View, Marshall Heights, Benning Heights (4.4). Downtown, Chinatown, Penn Quarters, Mount Vernon Square, North Capitol Street has the highest (17.7).

Use the RACE CHARTS below to watch all 22 WASHINGTON DC SOUTH NEIGHBORHOODs race across 18 quarter periods from Q1 2022 to Q2 2026 - one crime category at a time or all together. The race chart can be used to compare average crime rates by category against Washington DC's average.

Neighborhood boundaries are defined by Open Data DC (CC BY 4.0) and simplified by CrimesLog.

Reported Safety Incidents

In Q2 2026: property incidents were 78% (2,167), vehicle crimes were 12% (321), violent incidents were 10% (277) 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: Q1 2023: vehicle up 52% while the total moved 9%. The whole-area rate is the steadier guide.

Places we left out, and places to read with care

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

National Mall, Potomac River (213.0 per 1,000 from 23 crimes among 108 residents) and Saint Elizabeths (17.6 per 1,000 from 21 crimes among 1,191 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 the neighborhood clusters defined by Open Data DC (CC BY 4.0), grouped into north and south 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.
