Heatmap

Reported crime across Charlotte

The map plots Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department incidents so the city's pattern comes into focus. The southern neighborhoods around Myers Park, Dilworth, and Ballantyne tend to show lighter activity, while busier reporting follows the Uptown center, parts of the Beatties Ford Road corridor, and stretches of the east side along Central Avenue.

Incident points are approximate and reported to the block level. Treat the map as a neighborhood comparison tool, not a final word on any one address.

Lower crimeHigher crime

Denser clusters indicate more reported incidents nearby; thinner areas see fewer. Because CMPD geocodes to the block, use the map to compare neighborhoods rather than to score a single address. Commercial density, apartment concentration, and population all push counts up alongside actual risk.
