Safest Neighborhoods in Minneapolis (2024)

The Minneapolis neighborhoods at the top of this list have the fewest reported incidents relative to other Minneapolis Minneapolis neighborhoods.

Volume, not a safety rate. Minneapolis neighborhood resident population is not reliably available for a per-100k rate, so no safety grade is published for any zone (see /crime-rate/methodology §6.6). The geographic unit is the Minneapolis neighborhood (a policing/analysis boundary, not a resident-population neighborhood). relativeIndex ranks each zone by its VIOLENCE-WEIGHTED reported-incident volume (violent incidents weighted 3x property) against the other Minneapolis zones — it is NOT population-adjusted and must not be read as a safety rate. Offenses are grouped into three coarse buckets (violent / property / other) via a keyword classifier.

Safest neighborhoods in Minneapolis — FAQ

What is the safest neighborhood in Minneapolis?
By 2024 reported crime volume, Camden Industrial ranks as the safest Minneapolis neighborhood in Minneapolis in this data. See the full ranking above for how every Minneapolis neighborhood compares.
How are Minneapolis neighborhoods ranked?
Minneapolis publishes crime by Minneapolis neighborhood without a resident-population figure, so we rank by severity-weighted reported incident volume (violent incidents weighted more heavily than property) relative to other Minneapolis Minneapolis neighborhoods — not a per-100,000 rate. It shows where incidents concentrate, not per-person risk.
Does this predict how safe a specific street is?
No. This ranks whole Minneapolis neighborhoods, which can contain very different blocks. Use it to compare areas at a glance, then look at street-level detail, visit, and check local providers before deciding.

No area has zero risk

A high Crime Index score means lower reported crime relative to other US cities — it is not a guarantee of safety. Reported crime is not the same as actual crime. Research on the gap between crime that occurs and crime that gets reported to police — often called the "dark figure" of crime — estimates that roughly 40% of violent crime and about a third of property crime go unreported each year. Every index built on official statistics, including this one, necessarily undercounts real crime. That gap is exactly why homicide — the offense with the smallest dark figure — anchors the calculation instead of a more commonly reported but less reliable category like theft.
