Calabasas, CA Crime Map

Calabasas Safety Overview: An A-Rated City Across the Board

With a population of 23,842 and an overall crime grade of A, Calabasas stands as one of the safest cities in Los Angeles County. What makes this rating particularly remarkable is its consistency: all 26 analyzed neighborhoods earned an A-level grade, meaning 100% of the city's residential areas fall into the safest possible tier. Not a single neighborhood scored a B, C, D, or F. For a city of its size and proximity to a major metropolitan area, that kind of uniformity is genuinely rare.

Safest Neighborhoods in Calabasas

The top-performing neighborhoods reinforce why Calabasas commands a median home value of $1,134,520. Greater Mulwood is the largest of the A+ neighborhoods with a population of 3,019 and a median household income of $183,795, making it both the most populous and one of the most consistently safe areas in the city. Palatino and Calabasas Village each earned A+ grades with median incomes around $215,368 and $215,367 respectively, reflecting the tight correlation between affluence and low crime rates here. Mulholland Heights (income: $193,796) and Calabasas Ridge (income: $209,906) round out a group of neighborhoods where safety is not an exception — it is the baseline expectation.

Understanding the Grade Distribution

The grade distribution across Calabasas's 26 neighborhoods tells a straightforward story: 100% earned an A grade, with the vast majority reaching A+. The areas that appear in the higher-crime tier — Malibu Canyon and Calabasas Park — still hold A and A+ grades respectively. In practical terms, the difference between the safest and the so-called highest-crime neighborhoods in Calabasas is marginal. There is no pocket of the city where residents face meaningfully elevated risk compared to the rest. This is a city where the floor is already very high.

Property Crime vs. Violent Crime in Calabasas

Like most affluent, low-density communities — Calabasas sits at just 671 residents per square mile — the crime that does occur skews heavily toward property-related incidents rather than violent offenses. Opportunistic theft and occasional vehicle break-ins represent the most common concerns, particularly in areas with higher foot traffic or proximity to commercial corridors. Violent crime is exceptionally rare across all neighborhoods. The city's 8.4% unemployment rate and 8.8% poverty rate, while not negligible, have not translated into the elevated violent crime patterns seen in denser urban environments. Residents are far more likely to encounter a property nuisance than any threat to personal safety.

How the Interactive Crime Map Supports Smarter Decisions

For home buyers evaluating whether a $1.1 million investment in Calabasas makes sense, the crime map offers neighborhood-level grade comparisons that go beyond citywide averages. A buyer weighing Calabasas Highlands against Bellagio, for instance, can examine each area's specific grade and income profile side by side. Renters paying a median of $2,476 per month can use the map to verify that their prospective neighborhood aligns with the city's overall A rating before signing a lease. Commuters who travel through Malibu Canyon can cross-reference incident patterns along that corridor. The map transforms raw data into decisions — whether you are relocating, investing, or simply trying to understand the neighborhood where you already live.
