The Safest Las Vegas ZIP Codes, Ranked by LVMPD Data

The safest Las Vegas-area ZIP code is 89179 in Enterprise, at 7.2 crimes per 1,000 residents per year (LVMPD NIBRS, 2-year average) — about 15% of the metro's population-weighted baseline of 48.6/1K. The highest-crime qualifying ZIP is 89101 in Downtown Las Vegas at 132.9/1K, 18.5× the safest rate. This report ranks all 40 Clark County ZIP codes that carry usable LVMPD crime data and clear a 10,000-resident population floor; it does not rank Henderson, North Las Vegas, Boulder City, or Mesquite (no usable LVMPD data), and it excludes 9 very small ZIP codes, including the Las Vegas Strip's 89109, where a tiny resident base makes the rate statistically unstable.

Rankings below are computed directly from this site's published dataset — LVMPD NIBRS crime reporting, U.S. Census ACS 2023 population, and Zillow ZHVI home values — the same figures used throughout the interactive map and every ZIP and neighborhood page on this site. No number below is estimated or modeled; every figure traces back to that dataset, and the full CSV is downloadable for free from the homepage.

Key findings

1. 89179 (Enterprise) is the safest qualifying ZIP code in the Las Vegas metro at 7.2 crimes per 1,000 residents/year — the lowest of the 40 ZIP codes ranked here.
2. The metro's population-weighted baseline is 48.6 per 1,000 residents/year across all 49 LVMPD-covered Clark County ZIP codes; the safest ZIP runs at roughly 15% of that baseline.
3. 89101 (Downtown Las Vegas) is the highest-crime qualifying ZIP code at 132.9/1K — an 18.5× spread between the safest and highest-crime ZIP codes in this ranking.
4. Safety carries a price premium. The median home value (Zillow ZHVI) across the 10 safest ZIP codes is $495,087, about 49% higher ($162,532 more) than the $332,555 median across the 10 highest-crime ZIP codes.
5. The safest ZIP codes cluster geographically. All 10 sit in Enterprise, Summerlin, or Centennial Hills & Northwest — the valley's newer western and southwestern suburbs — while the 10 highest-crime ZIP codes concentrate in Downtown Las Vegas, Paradise, Spring Valley, and central Las Vegas, the older urban core and resort corridor.

The 10 safest Las Vegas ZIP codes

Ties (4th/5th, both 12.8/1K) are broken by ZIP code ascending. Violent rate is derived from reported homicides, robberies, and aggravated assaults — the violent offense categories LVMPD NIBRS breaks out — as an annual average per 1,000 residents; it may not capture every violent offense category.

† Resort-corridor caveat applies — see note above. Violent rate is derived the same way as the safest-ZIP table above.

Methodology

Sources & vintages: Crime figures are LVMPD NIBRS reporting, expressed as a 2-year annual average. Population is U.S. Census ACS 2023 5-year estimates. Home values are Zillow's Home Value Index (ZHVI), the same current snapshot used across this site.

Rate math: Total crime rate = average annual crimes ÷ population × 1,000, i.e. crimes per 1,000 residents per year. Violent rate is derived the same way from reported homicides, robberies, and aggravated assaults — LVMPD NIBRS's violent offense categories for these ZIP codes — because the dataset's single aggregate "violent crime" field is unpopulated here; summing the components avoids showing a misleading 0.0 next to ZIP codes that clearly have reported violent offenses.

Own-PD exclusion: 17 Clark County ZIP codes are policed by a municipal department other than LVMPD and are never ranked, rated, or scored anywhere on this site, including here: Henderson (89002, 89011, 89012, 89014, 89015, 89044, 89052, 89074), North Las Vegas (89030, 89031, 89032, 89081, 89084, 89085, 89086), Boulder City (89005), and Mesquite (89027). None of these have a usable LVMPD crime rate — a blank cell means missing data, not "zero crime" or "safe."

Population threshold: This report additionally requires population ≥ 10,000 among the 49 remaining LVMPD-covered ZIP codes, to avoid small-population artifacts where one or two incidents can swing a rate wildly. That excludes 9 more ZIP codes:

89007 Bunkerville (pop. 1,119), 89018 Indian Springs (753), 89019 Jean (2,355), 89021 Logandale (3,079), 89025 Moapa (1,060), 89029 Laughlin (8,954), 89040 Overton (3,842), 89109 Paradise / the Strip (6,924), and 89124 Mount Charleston (711). That leaves 40 qualifying ZIP codes, ranked in full above and below.

Resort-corridor caveat: 89109 — the Strip's own ZIP — is the clearest case for this threshold: its unfiltered LVMPD rate runs above 1,300 per 1,000 residents, a statistical outlier driven by casino-corridor and visitor incident volume divided across only 6,924 residents, not a literal read on resident risk. 89101 and 89169, which do clear the population floor and appear in the highest-crime table above, sit inside or next to that same tourist corridor and carry a smaller version of the same distortion — see the inline caveat on that table.
