Las Vegas area crime information - Maps
Las Vegas, North Las Vegas and Henderson
One of the first questions my relocating clients have had over the years has to do with crime. Where is it safe to live? Above is a map built from Padmapper.Com. It shows a crime overlay of the Las Vegas area with the yellow areas highest in crime with green next and with no color overlay the safest areas. It can deceive in that it includes only those areas serviced by the Metropolition Police Dept. There is no overlay for Henderson of North Las Vegas. What it does show is that as a rule of thumb, the farther you go out from the center of the city the safer it becomes. You will see that for example the Summerlin area has no overlay color at all. It is also interesting to note that even in the central areas there are 'islands" of relatively low crime. The city of Henderson, in the southern part of the valley, was rated in 2011 by Forbes Magazine the 3rd safest mid-size city in the United States.
The great news is that there are now tools that will allow you evaluate any given area around any given address, intersection, park, school or zip code as to its safety. These tools are courtesy of the police departments of Las Vegas ( servicing Las Vegas and all the unincorporated areas of the valley), North Las Vegas and Henderson. Below are links to this information and a description of the tools involved.
