The 10 Safest Neighborhoods In Seattle For 2020

How We Determined The Safest Seattle Hoods In 2020

You can ask people which neighborhoods are the safest, or you can just look at the unbiased raw data. So, instead of relying on speculation and opinion, we analyzed the hard numbers from the FBIs most recent crime report (published in September of 2019) for every neighborhood in Seattle.

To be more specific, we analyzed the FBIs Uniform Crime Report. We then ran an analysis to calculate each neighborhoods property and violent crimes based on the demographics of the area and reported crime. We used two key criteria:

• Total Crimes Per Capita
• Violent Crimes Per Capita
• Property Crimes Per Capita

We then ranked each neighborhood with scores from 1 to 78 in each category, where 1 was the safest.

Next, we averaged the rankings for each neighborhood to create a safe neighborhood index.

And finally, we crowned the neighborhood with the lowest safest neighborhood index the ‘Safest City Neighborhood In Seattle.’ We’re lookin’ at you, Hawthorne Hills.
