Los Angeles Crime Map Neighborhoods
Keep an eye on the crime scene in the City of Angels with our crime map of Los Angeles. This map highlights hot and cold spots of crime. Here is a table of some of the most dangerous neighborhoods in Los Angeles.
| Neighborhood | Location | Types of Crimes |
|---|---|---|
| Skid Row | Downtown Los Angeles, known for homelessness | High rates of drug-related crimes, thefts, and assaults. One of the largest homeless populations in the United States. |
| South Central L.A. | South of Downtown Los Angeles | Known for violent crime, gang activity, and thefts. |
| Compton | South of Downtown Los Angeles | Gang violence, robberies, and property crimes. But this area has seen improvement over the years. |
| Watts | South Los Angeles, known for its historic community | Violent crime, shootings, thefts, property crimes, and gang activity. |
As a tourist, I recommend staying a good distance from Skid Row. This area is between Little Tokyo and the Arts District in Downtown L.A. I personally think it’s a “no-go” at any time of the day. Both morning and night.
As for the other neighborhoods on our list, I still recommend avoiding them (especially at night). When riding the metro, I’d be careful on the blue and green lines as some stop in bad neighborhoods.
