Prepared by National Research Center, Inc. City of Louisville Community Survey <br /> June 2020 <br /> <br />Report of Results <br /> 11 <br />Safety in Louisville <br />Almost all Louisville residents indicated they felt safe from violent crime and felt safe in Louisville’s downtown <br />area, in their neighborhood, and in City parks. Nearly 9 in 10 also reported they felt safe from property <br />crimes. <br />Compared to ratings in 2020, where trends over time were available, all perceptions of safety were similar to <br />those observed in 2016. <br />Almost all safety ratings for which benchmark comparisons were available were much higher those given by <br />residents in other communities across the nation and in the Front Range, except for feeling safe in their <br />neighborhood, which was similar (see Appendix D: Benchmark Comparisons). <br />Figure 5: Ratings of Safety from Crime and in Public Areas by Year <br /> Prior to 2020, feelings of safety in neighborhoods, downtown and parks were distinguished by daytime or nighttime instead of feelings <br />of safety overall, so comparisons over time are not provided. <br />90% <br />97% <br />94% <br />97% <br />88% <br />97% <br />88% <br />96% <br />96% <br />97% <br />98% <br />0%25%50%75%100% <br />From property crimes (e.g., <br />burglary, theft) <br />In your neighborhood <br />In Louisville's parks <br />In Louisville's downtown area <br />From violent crime (e.g., rape, <br />assault, robbery) <br />Percent very safe or somewhat safe <br />2020 <br />2016 <br />2012 <br />2008 <br />2004 <br />Please rate how safe you feel:
