Caution

Overall safety score

“Go with care. Colonial Heights is an evolving historic West End neighborhood experiencing steady residential reinvestment alongside pockets of long-standing socioeconomic strain. While daytime visits along main corridors and greenways are generally fine, visitors should stay aware of their surroundings after dark due to elevated property and violent crime rates in adjacent West Charlotte pockets.”

Scores are safety-driven: recent crime levels and local news, plus Census data on income and poverty, housing, education and household make-up, and access to vehicles, internet and health coverage. Walk and bike scores are shown separately and do not affect the safety score. A guide, not a guarantee. Neighborhood outlines come from official city and US Census boundary data.
