Raymore, MO Crime Map

What the Latest Crime Incidents Tell Us About Raymore

Over the last 90 days, Raymore recorded just 43 total crime incidents across the entire city — a remarkably low figure for a community of 21,676 residents. Breaking that down reveals an encouraging picture: arrests accounted for 84% of all incidents (36 cases, most recently on March 11, 2026), meaning law enforcement is actively resolving situations rather than leaving them open. Theft made up 14% of incidents (6 cases, latest on March 9, 2026), and assault represented just 2% — a single reported case on March 2, 2026. The near-absence of violent crime in this 90-day window is consistent with Raymore's overall crime grade of A- and its city-wide safety rating of Very Safe (A).

Raymore Crime Grade Breakdown by Neighborhood

Of the neighborhoods analyzed within Raymore, 100% earned a Grade A rating — the highest possible designation. Creekmoor, the city's most prominent mapped neighborhood, holds a Grade A and is home to approximately 1,424 residents with a median household income of $105,417 — well above the city median of $86,368. This income-safety correlation is not coincidental: stable, prosperous neighborhoods tend to generate fewer crime conditions, and Creekmoor exemplifies that pattern. Not a single Raymore neighborhood falls into Grade B, C, D, or F territory. That means 100% of analyzed neighborhoods qualify as safe under our combined A+B threshold — and in this case, every one clears the higher bar of Grade A alone.

How Raymore's Safety Profile Compares

Context matters when reading any crime map. Raymore's unemployment rate of just 2.6% and poverty rate of 5.5% sit well below national averages, both of which are strongly associated with lower crime environments. The city's median home value of $226,303 and median rent of $1,201 reflect a stable housing market — another indicator that residents have economic roots in the community. With a population density of only 483 people per square mile, Raymore avoids the congestion pressures that often amplify crime in denser metros. The result is a suburban environment where the dominant crime category in any given 90-day period is law enforcement activity itself — arrests — rather than property crime or violence.

Understanding the Incident Types: Arrests vs. Crime

One nuance worth highlighting: the largest single category in Raymore's recent incident data is arrests (84%). Arrests are not crimes committed against residents — they represent police action, often resolving prior incidents or enforcing warrants. This high arrest-to-incident ratio suggests an active and effective local police presence. The remaining incidents — 6 thefts (14%) and 1 assault (2%) — are the actual offenses residents should be aware of. Theft, the most common true crime category, is largely opportunistic and preventable through basic security habits. Violent crime, at a single incident over 90 days, is statistically rare in Raymore.

Using This Crime Map Effectively

Raymore's crime map is most useful when you look beyond raw incident counts and focus on incident types, recency, and neighborhood-level grades. Here's how to get the most from it:

• Filter by incident type — separate arrests from actual offenses to get a clearer picture of resident-facing crime.
• Check neighborhood grades — Creekmoor's Grade A tells you more about long-term safety than any single recent incident.
• Track recency — the most recent theft occurred March 9, 2026; the most recent assault on March 2, 2026. Knowing when incidents cluster helps identify any emerging patterns.
• Compare against city-wide averages — Raymore's A- overall grade means it outperforms the vast majority of Missouri cities.

Community and Economic Factors Behind Raymore's Safety

Safe cities are rarely accidents. Raymore's strong safety grades reflect a combination of deliberate community investment and favorable socioeconomic conditions. A median household income of $86,368, low unemployment, and a poverty rate under 6% create an environment where residents have stability and stake in their community. Neighborhoods like Creekmoor, with incomes exceeding $105,000, further anchor that foundation. These factors, combined with Raymore's suburban density and active law enforcement (as evidenced by the high arrest rate in recent incident data), produce the Grade A safety profile visible across the city's crime map.
