Las Vegas Crime & Housing Data — Press Kit

lvcrimedata.com publishes free, citable Las Vegas metro crime and housing statistics: the population-weighted crime rate across LVMPD-covered ZIP codes is 80.8 per 1,000 residents (LVMPD NIBRS, calendar year 2025), and home values (Zillow ZHVI, August 2026) range from $252,395 in Laughlin's 89029 to $763,414 in Summerlin's 89138. This page is a quick-reference kit for reporters — story-ready numbers, citation format, and reuse terms. No request form, no embargo, no paywall.

Who we are

lvcrimedata.com is a free, public-data explorer built and maintained by AXIA Enterprises. We are not a real estate brokerage, we don't sell leads, and there's no paywall anywhere on the site — every table, chart, ZIP page, and CSV export is free to use, including on deadline. The underlying dataset combines LVMPD crime reporting, Census income and population figures, HUD rent benchmarks, and Zillow home-value indices into one ZIP-code-level view of the Las Vegas metro.

Story-ready numbers

Every figure below traces directly to this site's published dataset — nothing here is estimated or modeled. Full context, methodology, and per-ZIP breakdowns live on the linked pages.

Metro crime baseline: 80.8 per 1,000 residents — the population-weighted total of calendar year 2025 LVMPD NIBRS offense counts across the 49 Clark County ZIP codes with usable LVMPD crime data.
Lowest home value: $252,395 — ZIP 89029 in Laughlin, the lowest August 2026 Zillow ZHVI in the metro. Next lowest are 89103 ($253,656) and 89119 ($262,076).
Highest home value: $763,414 — ZIP 89138 in Summerlin. Next are 89135 ($712,977) and 89052 ($598,415). The spread from the lowest ZIP is $511,019.
Safest-to-highest-crime spread: 19.9× — 89179 in Enterprise, the safest ZIP that clears the 10,000-resident floor, reports 11.5 crimes per 1,000 residents in 2025; 89101 in Downtown Las Vegas reports 229.2/1K, the highest among qualifying ZIPs.
Resort-corridor distortion: 6,504 residents, 2392.8/1K — ZIP 89109, home to most of the Strip. The per-resident rate divides tourist and casino-corridor incidents by a small resident base. Do not cite it as a plain safety ranking.
Safety carries a price premium: 53% higher — median August 2026 ZHVI across the 10 safest qualifying ZIP codes is $501,588, versus $328,694 across the 10 highest-crime qualifying ZIP codes ($172,895 more).
66 Clark County ZIP codes tracked in the Las Vegas metro (out of 133 statewide in the full Nevada dataset).
17 of those 66 ZIP codes have no usable LVMPD crime rate — Henderson, North Las Vegas, Boulder City, and Mesquite run their own police departments. Incidental LVMPD reports in those ZIPs are not shown as a crime rate.

Story angle — why city crime maps mislead Henderson buyers: Most "Las Vegas crime map" tools quietly source only LVMPD data and either omit Henderson, North Las Vegas, Boulder City, and Mesquite entirely or, worse, blend in a handful of incidental LVMPD reports that make those cities look artificially safe. All 17 of their ZIP codes are policed by their own departments, not LVMPD, so an LVMPD-only map has literally no crime signal for a third of Henderson's population and every North Las Vegas resident. This site shows those 17 ZIP codes with an explicit "No LVMPD data" label rather than a fabricated or misleadingly low number — see the coverage note on the ZIP code map for the full list. It's a clean angle for a story on how automated real-estate crime overlays get incorporated cities wrong.

How to cite this data

Las Vegas Housing & Crime Explorer, lvcrimedata.com, accessed 2026-10-10 — underlying data: LVMPD NIBRS calendar year 2025, Census ACS 2024, Zillow ZHVI August 2026.

Use that line (or a close paraphrase) any time you cite a figure from this site in an article, chyron, or on-air graphic. If you're citing a specific ranked list or ZIP breakdown, link to the specific page — e.g. lvcrimedata.com/safest-las-vegas-zip-codes/ — rather than just the homepage, so readers can verify the exact figure.

What you may reuse

Tables, charts, and screenshots from any page on this site are free to reuse in an article, newsletter, or broadcast segment, provided you link back to the specific page the figure came from. No fee, no request form, no advance approval needed.

For a live version instead of a static screenshot, embed the free, interactive crime & home-value map widget directly in your story — see /embed/ for the iframe code. It's free for editorial use with no API key and no usage cap; the one condition is that the attribution link back to lvcrimedata.com stays visible next to the embedded map.

Data sources & vintages

Crime: LVMPD NIBRS offense counts for calendar year 2025, at the ZIP-code level. 2026 offenses are on the same public layer through 2026-10-04 and are not used in annual rates, because October 2026 is a partial month.
Population & income: U.S. Census Bureau ACS 2024 5-year estimates. The ACS 2025 5-year summary file was not published as of 2026-10-10.
Rent benchmarks: HUD FY2027 Small Area Fair Market Rents (2-bedroom), effective October 1, 2026.
Home values & rent index: Zillow ZHVI and ZORI, August 2026 (newest month in the Zillow Research files as of 2026-10-10).
