Lathrop, CA Crime Map

Lathrop, CA Safety Overview

Lathrop, California — a city of 23,863 residents — earns an overall crime grade of C, a rating that reflects its position as a growing San Joaquin County community still working through the pressures that come with rapid development. Of the neighborhoods analyzed in our data, 100% earned a B grade, placing every measured area within the "Safe" tier. No neighborhood scored an A, and none fell to a C, D, or F. That consistency is notable, even if the single analyzed neighborhood — Mossale Landing City of Lathrop — represents only a slice of the broader city population.

Neighborhood Safety Breakdown

Mossale Landing City of Lathrop stands as both the safest and the highest-crime neighborhood in the current dataset, simply because it is the only one analyzed. It holds a Grade B safety rating and serves a population of approximately 638 residents, with a median household income of $99,448 — meaningfully above the city-wide median of $90,179. That income gap matters: higher-income pockets within a city tend to correlate with lower property crime exposure, more home security investment, and stronger community engagement with local law enforcement. Mossale Landing's B grade reflects a relatively secure environment, though it is not without the occasional incident typical of any residential area in a city carrying an overall C grade.

Crime Grade Distribution Across Lathrop

With 100% of analyzed neighborhoods landing at Grade B and zero neighborhoods at Grade A, C, D, or F, the distribution tells a straightforward story: the measured areas of Lathrop cluster in a middle-to-safe range. The absence of any A-grade neighborhoods suggests there is room for improvement in community safety outcomes, while the lack of D or F grades indicates the city has avoided the concentrated crime corridors seen in more distressed urban areas. The city-wide overall grade of C, however, signals that factors beyond the Mossale Landing area — including a 7% unemployment rate and an 11.5% poverty rate — contribute to crime risk across the broader city footprint.

Property Crime vs. Violent Crime in Lathrop

Like most growing California cities with Lathrop's density profile of 464 residents per square mile, property crime tends to be the dominant concern rather than violent crime. Communities with active logistics corridors and expanding residential tracts often see elevated rates of vehicle theft and package theft tied to transient traffic patterns. Violent crime, while present, is typically sporadic rather than concentrated in specific corridors. The city's median home value of $381,681 and median rent of $1,751 suggest a community with real assets worth protecting, making property crime prevention a practical priority for most households.
