Overview
How Denver neighborhoods compare
Crime in Denver is a neighborhood story before it is a city story. The quieter end of the scale is dominated by the established residential pockets of the south and southeast — places like Cherry Creek, Wellshire, University Hills, Country Club, and the newer grid of Central Park (formerly Stapleton). At the other end sit the high-traffic zones: the downtown blocks, the East Colfax corridor, parts of Capitol Hill, and the industrial Globeville-Elyria-Swansea and Montbello areas. Treat the order below as a starting map, not a verdict — pull up your specific blocks on the crime map before drawing conclusions.
