Overview

How Minneapolis neighborhoods compare

Safety in Minneapolis sorts roughly by geography. The southwest neighborhoods wrapped around the Chain of Lakes tend to grade highest, while the north side and the Phillips and Cedar-Riverside areas near Lake Street carry the heaviest burden of violent crime. Downtown sits in between, calm by day and more volatile in its late-night entertainment zone.

Lowest crime

Safest neighborhoods in Minneapolis

Areas such as Linden Hills, Fulton, Tangletown, and the lakeside blocks around Lake Harriet and Lake of the Isles consistently see lower violent crime and a settled, residential feel.
