Safety Grades by Zip Code

Lexington's statistically safest zip — consistently the lowest crime rates in the metro. A standout for safety-first buyers.

Tied for Lexington's lowest crime — very quiet residential streets, strong neighborhood watch culture, extremely safe.

Established, walkable, historically safe. Consistent A-grade performance despite being a denser, more urban zip.

Safe, community-driven zip. Strong neighborhood identity and long-term resident ownership keeps crime low.

Safe suburban east Lexington — active HOA communities and high homeownership contribute to strong safety metrics.

Rural and pastoral — low population density and private estate living naturally produce very low crime rates.

One of Lexington's safest planned communities — HOA standards, gated sections, and low traffic keep crime rates minimal.

Rural east Lexington — very low crime driven by low population density and tight-knit rural community character.

Above average safety for an affordable northeast zip — better than its price point would suggest.

Above average — growing suburb with active community associations and newer residential development.

Solid south Lexington safety record — established residential streets and Man o' War corridor proximity.

City-average safety — central location with mixed character. Fine for most buyers; not a top pick for safety-first households.

Urban zip with higher activity levels — typical of any downtown area. Property crime is the main concern, not violent crime.
