While it lacks pedestrian infrastructure and experiences occasional opportunistic property crimes like vehicle break-ins, it is generally peaceful and free from the higher violent crime rates seen in the urban oceanfront strips.”

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.
