Go, stay aware

Overall safety score

“Go. Southwest Myrtle Beach, especially around The Market Common and surrounding master-planned residential developments, is one of the more orderly and secure parts of the city. While property crime typical of resort destinations exists along commercial corridors, visitors will find a quiet, well-maintained environment compared to the oceanfront strip.”

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.
