Overall safety score

“Go with care. University City offers solid dining, botanical gardens, and shopping anchored by UNC Charlotte, but safety varies depending on the specific pocket. While the university campus and research parks are generally safe, auto theft, vehicle break-ins, and occasional robberies are notable around major retail strips, transit stations, and apartment complexes along North Tryon Street.”

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.
