Overview

Understanding crime in San Antonio


As one of the largest cities in the country by population, San Antonio covers a vast footprint, and safety varies widely from one part of town to the next. Master-planned suburbs like Stone Oak on the far north side and historic enclaves such as Alamo Heights see very different conditions than older neighborhoods on the near east and west sides or the downtown tourist district around the River Walk.

Our approach is to bring SAPD incident reports and population figures into a single view, score each neighborhood and ZIP on an A-to-F scale, and turn raw report counts into something a resident can actually use — the everyday chance of being affected.

About this data: Statistics are drawn from San Antonio Police Department open crime records alongside U.S. Census Bureau population data, adjusted for population so larger and smaller areas can be compared meaningfully.

FAQ

San Antonio crime: common questions


Is San Antonio a safe city to live in?

San Antonio's safety profile is shaped largely by property crime, which runs above the national average, while violent crime stays within the range of comparable large Texas cities. The experience differs dramatically by area, with the far-north suburbs feeling much safer than some older inner-city sectors. Choosing the right neighborhood matters more than the citywide figure.

What are the safest neighborhoods in San Antonio?

Stone Oak, Alamo Heights, Terrell Hills, and the master-planned communities across the far north and northwest are among the safest. These areas combine newer housing, lower commercial density, and quieter residential streets.

Which areas of San Antonio have the most crime?

Reported crime concentrates in parts of the near east and near west sides, certain south-side pockets, and the downtown core. These areas tend to mix older infrastructure with denser commercial and pedestrian activity.

Is vehicle theft common in San Antonio?

Yes, auto theft is a persistent issue across San Antonio, and trucks and SUVs are frequent targets. Vehicle burglaries are also among the most-reported property crimes, especially around apartment complexes and commercial parking areas.

Where does this San Antonio crime data come from?

The data is compiled from San Antonio Police Department open crime records and paired with U.S. Census Bureau population estimates. We adjust for population so neighborhoods and ZIP codes of different sizes can be compared fairly.
