Overview

How Milwaukee neighborhoods compare

Milwaukee's safety map breaks along familiar lines. The lakefront-adjacent east side, the southern enclave of Bay View, and stable middle-class pockets on the far northwest and southwest sides tend to grade well, while the near north side and parts of the near south side carry the heaviest concentrations of violent and property crime.

Lowest crime
