Go, stay aware

Overall safety score

“Go with care. West Caraleigh is an evolving semi-industrial and residential pocket straddling South Raleigh and northern Garner that is largely safe for everyday visits, though standard urban precautions are warranted after dark. Property theft and vehicular break-ins are the primary concerns rather than violent crime.”

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.
