Crime & Safety in North Las Vegas
North Las Vegas's crime data reads less favorably than this project's companion Henderson and Las Vegas records across both sources reviewed this pass -- NeighborhoodScout's 24-per-1,000 overall rate and CrimeGrade's D grade for violent crime -- a real, disclosed weaker spot in the city's profile worth understanding honestly rather than smoothed over.

Learn moreNeighborhoodScout: a comparatively higher overall rate
NeighborhoodScout cites an overall crime rate of 24 per 1,000 residents (1-in-42 combined victim odds) and a violent crime rate of 4 per 1,000 (1-in-256 victim odds) -- both described by that source as "considerably higher than the national average."
CrimeGrade: a D grade for violent crime
CrimeGrade assigns North Las Vegas a D grade for violent crime, placing the city in the 18th percentile nationally (safer than only 18% of cities compared), with a violent crime rate of 5.2 per 1,000 and an overall crime rate of 35.53 per 1,000 -- a real, disclosed weaker read than this project's companion Henderson record (which cited an overall index of 22.83 against a 33.37 national average) or Las Vegas's own currently improving crime trend.
Real, meaningful geographic variance within the city
Northwest North Las Vegas neighborhoods are cited as safest (1-in-365 victim odds) versus southeast neighborhoods (1-in-94) -- a real, substantial geographic spread. Check a specific target address directly with more than one source rather than relying on the citywide average.
Key takeaways
- NeighborhoodScout cites an overall crime rate of 24/1,000 (1-in-42 victim odds) -- "considerably higher than the national average" per that source.
- CrimeGrade's D grade for violent crime places North Las Vegas in the 18th safety percentile nationally -- a real, disclosed weaker read than Henderson's or Las Vegas's own current data.
- Northwest neighborhoods (1-in-365 victim odds) read meaningfully safer than southeast neighborhoods (1-in-94) -- real geographic variance worth checking for any specific address.
- This is a genuine, honestly disclosed weaker spot in North Las Vegas's profile relative to its Las Vegas Valley siblings, not a data artifact.
