Metric

Per capita crime rates play
In 2016, Los Angeles residents reported 5.5 violent crimes per 1,000 inhabitants and 24.7 property crimes per 1,000 residents. This is a 23.3 percent increase in violent crimes and a 6.2 percent increase in property crimes, compared to rates reported in 2012.

Source: Department of Justice
Our target:
No neighborhood experiences more than one violent crime per 1,000 inhabitants and no neighborhood reports more than five property crimes per 1,000 residents.

Help us reach our goals for this metric
