Frequently Asked Questions About Crime in Victorville, CA

Is Victorville safe to live in?

By the numbers, Victorville ranks as a Very Safe (A) city when its analyzed neighborhoods are taken together. Of the six neighborhoods examined, 83.3% earned a Grade A and the remaining 16.7% earned a Grade B — meaning every single analyzed neighborhood falls into the safe-to-very-safe range, a combined A+B rate of 100%. Eagle Ranch leads the pack with a rare A+ grade, followed closely by Foxfire Ranch (A), Brentwood (A-), Spring Valley Lake (A-), and Victor Village (A-). The only neighborhood that falls below an A tier is Green Tree, which still holds a solid B grade. For context, Victorville's overall city-wide crime grade is C+, reflecting citywide reported incidents, but the neighborhood-level data paints a noticeably safer picture for the communities where most residents actually live.

What is the crime rate in Victorville, CA in 2026?

Victorville carries an overall crime grade of C+ for 2026, which places it in the middle of the national spectrum — not among the most dangerous cities, but not without meaningful crime activity either. At the neighborhood level, however, the story improves significantly: five of six analyzed neighborhoods (83.3%) hold a Grade A, and one (Green Tree) holds a Grade B. Economic indicators provide important context: the city's unemployment rate sits at 11.1% and the poverty rate is 21%, both of which are elevated compared to California averages and are factors that research consistently links to higher property crime rates. Residents looking for the lowest-crime pockets of the city should focus on neighborhoods like Eagle Ranch and Spring Valley Lake, where median household incomes of $101,983 and $82,788, respectively, correlate strongly with those A-range safety grades.

What are the safest neighborhoods in Victorville?

Based on 2026 neighborhood crime analysis, the five safest neighborhoods in Victorville are:

• Eagle Ranch — A+: The top-ranked neighborhood, with a population of about 4,140 and a median household income of $101,983. It is the only area in the city to achieve an A+ designation.
• Foxfire Ranch — A: A smaller community of roughly 1,097 residents with a median income of $74,658, earning a full Grade A for safety.
• Brentwood — A-: Home to approximately 3,119 residents and a median income of $65,681, Brentwood consistently scores in the top tier.
• Spring Valley Lake — A-: The largest of the safest neighborhoods at 12,785 residents, with a strong median income of $82,788 and an A- safety grade.
• Victor Village — A-: A very small enclave of about 95 residents with a median income of $70,466, also graded A-.

Green Tree, graded B, rounds out the analyzed neighborhoods. While it has a lower median income of $46,858 compared to the A-tier areas, it still qualifies as a safe neighborhood by national standards.

Is Victorville a good place to buy a home?

Victorville offers one of the more affordable entry points into California homeownership. The median home value is $229,699 — a fraction of the statewide median — and the median rent is $1,298 per month, making both buying and renting accessible relative to most California markets. The median household income of $55,155 means that housing costs, while not trivial, remain within reach for many working families. On the safety side, neighborhoods like Eagle Ranch (A+) and Spring Valley Lake (A-) offer Grade A crime ratings alongside higher median incomes, making them particularly attractive for families prioritizing both affordability and security. The city's population of 350,275 spread across a density of just 644 residents per square mile gives it a more suburban, spacious feel than denser urban areas. Prospective buyers should weigh the city's 11.1% unemployment rate and 21% poverty rate as economic factors that can influence long-term neighborhood stability, and use the Victorville crime map to zero in on the specific blocks and ZIP codes that align with their priorities.

How does Victorville's safety compare across its neighborhoods?

Victorville shows a notably compressed and positive safety distribution across its analyzed neighborhoods. With zero neighborhoods graded C, D, or F, and 100% of neighborhoods falling in the A or B range, the city's residential areas are performing well above average. The gap between the best and worst is relatively narrow: the top neighborhood (Eagle Ranch) earns an A+, while the lowest-ranked (Green Tree) earns a B — only two letter grades apart. Income appears to be a meaningful differentiator: A-grade neighborhoods average roughly $79,000 in median household income, while Green Tree's B grade aligns with its lower median income of $46,858. For anyone using the Victorville crime map to compare neighborhoods side by side, the data suggests that the High Desert communities of Eagle Ranch, Foxfire Ranch, and Spring Valley Lake consistently offer the strongest combination of safety grades and economic stability.
