North Richland Hills Safety Overview: A City That Earns Its Grades

With a population of 70,585 and an overall crime grade of B+, North Richland Hills stands out as one of the safer mid-sized suburbs in the Dallas–Fort Worth metro. Across all 28 neighborhoods analyzed, every single one earned an A-range grade — meaning 100% of the city's neighborhoods fall into the safe category, with zero neighborhoods graded B, C, D, or F. That kind of consistency is rare, and it reflects a community where low unemployment (3.8%) and a poverty rate of just 6.6% contribute to a stable, low-crime environment.

Where Safety Peaks: The Strongest Neighborhoods

At the top of the safety rankings, Thornbridge leads with an A+ grade and a median household income of $164,269, followed closely by Brandonwood Estates (A+, $154,118) and Forest Glenn (A+, $140,182). Briarwood Estates and Stonybrooke both hold A+ grades with median incomes of $125,931 and $124,063 respectively, rounding out a cluster of neighborhoods where residents enjoy both financial stability and measurably low crime rates. Even neighborhoods further down the list, like Fox Hollow (A, $75,663) and the North Richland Hills core neighborhood (A, $88,864), perform well above what most cities can claim across their full geographic footprint.

Understanding the Full Grade Distribution

The grade distribution across North Richland Hills is unusually uniform. All 28 analyzed neighborhoods earned an A-range grade, with the top eight earning the highest possible A+ designation. The areas with relatively more crime activity — College Hills, Calloway Farm, Nor' East, and Richland Hills West — each hold an A- grade, while Richland Terrace sits at a solid A. To be clear, an A- in this context still represents a very safe neighborhood by any national standard. There are no outliers dragging down the city's profile, which gives the overall B+ city-wide grade important context: the slight gap between the neighborhood-level A ratings and the city-wide B+ reflects broader metropolitan crime comparisons rather than any localized danger within North Richland Hills itself.

Property Crime vs. Violent Crime in North Richland Hills

Like most suburban communities with a median home value of $233,168 and active commercial corridors, North Richland Hills sees property crime — including vehicle break-ins and opportunistic theft — occur at higher rates than violent crime. Violent incidents are comparatively rare across the city, consistent with the low poverty rate and strong household income figures. Neighborhoods like College Hills and Nor' East, which carry A- grades rather than A+, tend to see slightly elevated property crime activity relative to the city's top-ranked areas, but nothing that places residents at meaningful risk of violent encounters. The data reinforces that North Richland Hills is a city where property awareness matters more than personal safety concerns.
