Go, stay aware

Overall safety score

“Go with care. Walltown is a historic residential neighborhood right next to Duke's East Campus that is generally safe for daytime visits, though visitors should exercise normal urban awareness after dark. While it is experiencing ongoing revitalization and investment, property crime and occasional late-night disturbances remain above suburban averages.”

About the area

HistoricEvolvingCollege AdjacentResidential

Walltown is a historic, evolving Durham neighborhood bounded by Duke's East Campus and the Broad Street commercial corridor. It features quiet residential streets with historic mill cottages, pocket parks, and direct access to popular independent cafes and dining on its western and southern borders.

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.
