Overall safety score

“Go. Melrose Heights is one of Columbia's most charming and established historic neighborhoods, offering quiet, tree-lined streets and well-kept homes. While standard precautions against opportunistic property crimes like car break-ins are recommended, the neighborhood is largely peaceful and safe for strolling during the day and evening.”

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.
