Frequently Asked Questions About Crime in Danville, CA

Is Danville, CA safe in 2026?

Danville ranks among the safest cities in California, earning an overall crime grade of A+. Every one of the nine neighborhoods analyzed — from South Sycamore and Ranch Creek to Westside Danville and Crow Canyon Country Club — received either an A or A+ grade. That means 100% of Danville neighborhoods fall into the top safety tier, with zero neighborhoods graded B, C, D, or F. For context, most comparable suburban cities have at least some neighborhoods rated B or lower, making Danville's clean sweep of A-range grades genuinely exceptional.

What is the crime rate in Danville compared to other cities?

Danville's crime profile is well above average for the United States. With a poverty rate of just 4.3%, an unemployment rate of 3.8%, and a median household income of $167,827 — nearly three times the national median — the socioeconomic conditions that correlate with elevated crime simply aren't present here. All 9 of 9 analyzed neighborhoods (representing 100% of the city's studied population) carry an A-range safety grade, and 7 out of those 9 neighborhoods hold the highest possible rating of A+. The remaining two neighborhoods — Westside Danville and Crow Canyon Country Club — still earn a solid A, placing them in the "very safe" category.

What are the safest neighborhoods in Danville?

Seven Danville neighborhoods share the top grade of A+:

• South Sycamore — the largest neighborhood by population (10,831 residents) with a median income of $170,724
• Ranch Creek — the highest median income of any Danville neighborhood at $228,676
• East Camino Tassajara — home to 8,324 residents and a median income of $205,640
• Central Camino Tassajara — 9,414 residents and a median income of $194,287
• North Sycamore — 4,047 residents and a median income of $155,230
• El Cerro to Green Valley — 3,269 residents and a median income of $160,431
• El Pintado — a smaller enclave of 1,441 residents with a median income of $147,408

The two neighborhoods graded A — Westside Danville (4,625 residents, median income $143,391) and Crow Canyon Country Club (1,790 residents, median income $137,625) — are still considered very safe and simply reflect slightly more activity relative to Danville's extraordinarily low baseline.

Which Danville neighborhoods have the most crime?

Even the neighborhoods with comparatively higher crime in Danville still earn an A grade, meaning they are very safe by any regional or national standard. Crow Canyon Country Club and Westside Danville are the two areas that rank slightly lower within the city, yet both remain well within the top safety tier. No Danville neighborhood grades below an A — a distinction that fewer than 5% of U.S. cities can claim across all analyzed areas. If you are evaluating neighborhoods for a move, even the "highest crime" areas in Danville would be considered low-crime destinations in virtually any other city.

Is Danville a good place to live for families?

The data strongly supports Danville as one of the best family destinations in the Bay Area. Consider the key figures: a median home value of $1,149,530, a median household income of $167,827, and a poverty rate of only 4.3% — all pointing to a stable, affluent community. Layer on top of that a 100% A-range neighborhood safety rating across all nine analyzed neighborhoods, and the case for families becomes clear. Neighborhoods like South Sycamore (pop. 10,831) and Central Camino Tassajara (pop. 9,414) offer the combination of size, community infrastructure, and A+ safety grades that families typically prioritize. The city's low population density of 959 residents per square mile also contributes to a spacious, suburban feel that complements the safety profile.

How does Danville's crime map help residents stay safe?

Danville's crime map lets residents and prospective buyers drill into neighborhood-level safety data rather than relying on city-wide averages alone. Because Danville's 9 analyzed neighborhoods all fall in the A range, the map primarily helps users understand relative differences within an already very safe city — for example, distinguishing between the A+ grades of Ranch Creek or El Pintado and the A grades of Westside Danville or Crow Canyon Country Club. Filtering by crime type, time period, and location allows residents to spot any emerging patterns early, report concerns to the Danville Police Department, and maintain the community vigilance that has helped keep all neighborhoods at the top of the safety scale.
