Over the last 12 months, 520 crimes were reported in Idlewild — about 177.2 per 1,000 residents per year, above the citywide rate of 65.0; 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 213 traffic crashes in the same window.

Search IdlewildCrimes cover the Idlewild neighborhood (the boundary outlined on the map), over the last 12 months. 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); crash counts are compared to the average Raleigh neighborhood. Source: City of Raleigh open data and Wake County. RPD places incidents on the block’s street, so incidents on a boundary street sit on the street centerline; offenses within about 30 meters of the outline are counted here, which means an offense on a street shared by two neighborhoods counts toward both. Raleigh Police withholds the location of most sexual offenses: about two thirds of the last year’s sex offenses (every forcible rape, sodomy, fondling, statutory rape and incest report) and every child-abuse report (aggravated and simple) and every obscene-material report carry no location in the public data, so they cannot be placed near an address. Counts here include only offenses with a location and understate violent crime. Campus police (NC State, Meredith, William Peace, Shaw, St. Augustine’s, Wake Tech) and other agencies police their own property and are not in this feed. 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.
