In the 12 months of data through Sep 30, 2026, 2,687 crimes were reported in Downtown — about 587.0 per 1,000 residents per year, above the citywide rate of 76.2; with fewer than 5,000 residents, the per-resident rate swings widely and also counts incidents involving people who don't live here. Counts include only offenses that carry a location in the public data, so they understate violent crime. There are also 211 open code-enforcement cases on record nearby.

Search DowntownCrimes cover the Downtown neighborhood (the boundary outlined on the map), in the 12 months of data through Sep 30, 2026. Open code-enforcement cases are counted within roughly a half-mile of the center. Crime is compared per resident (rate), so a large, busy area can have a high total but a lower rate (with fewer than 5,000 residents, the per-resident rate swings widely and also counts incidents involving people who don't live here); code-enforcement case counts are compared to the average Pittsburgh neighborhood. Source: City of Pittsburgh open data (WPRDC). Pittsburgh Police publish no location for any sex offense (all 260 sex-offense records this year, including every rape, have none) and for 1 of 27 homicide records, and place the rest at the block level, so location-based counts understate violent crime near any address. University of Pittsburgh, Carnegie Mellon and Duquesne campus police, Port Authority and county parks are policed separately and may not appear. Open data updates on a delay, so the most recent records may be incomplete. For general information only — not legal, financial, or real-estate advice.
