Lexington's crime is highly concentrated in the downtown and West End corridors. The East End, South Lexington, and suburban areas score dramatically better. Neighborhoods like Chevy Chase, Beaumont, and Hamburg have A-range crime grades while parts of downtown and the West End score C or below. Choosing the right neighborhood matters enormously here.
