Houston Crime Map
Navigate Houston's vast footprint to see where Houston Police Department reports concentrate, from the downtown core out to the far suburban loops.
Heatmap
Reported crime across Houston
The map places reported incidents at their locations so you can see how the dense, busy core — downtown, Midtown's nightlife, and apartment-heavy corridors like Gulfton — differs from calmer master-planned and residential areas such as West University, Bellaire, and the Energy Corridor's quieter edges. Zoom into one neighborhood or pull back to compare areas inside and outside the Loop.
Each point is one reported incident, and dense clusters usually mark commercial strips, freeway-adjacent corridors, and nightlife zones rather than the surrounding homes. Because high-traffic areas naturally generate more reports, read the map alongside the neighborhood grades and rates for a fair picture.
