Overall safety score

“Go. Duke University's campus and its immediate surroundings are among the safest and most well-maintained districts in Durham. Robust private campus policing, active foot traffic, and extensive security infrastructure make it exceptionally safe for daytime visits, though standard vigilance is advised along peripheral parking lots late at night.”

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.
