Is 89183 Safe? A Realistic Look at the Crime Numbers

When people Google "89183 crime," they're usually deciding whether to move here. So let me skip the sugar-coating and give you the real picture.

The Overall Numbers

89183 has an overall crime rate of 25.79 per 1,000 residents annually. For context:

The national average is about 23 per 1,000
The Nevada state average is about 26 per 1,000
Las Vegas metro average is about 30 per 1,000

So 89183 sits right around the national average and below the Vegas average. It earns a B grade for violent crime, meaning it's safer than about 62% of US zip codes.

Translation: this is a normal, safe suburban neighborhood. It's not a gated compound, but it's far from dangerous.

Violent Crime vs. Property Crime

This distinction matters because they're very different things.

Violent crime (assault, robbery, etc.) is relatively low in 89183. The rate is below both the state and national averages. Random violent crime against strangers is rare. When violent incidents do occur, they're typically domestic situations or targeted disputes — not random acts. Property crime is the more common issue, and it's primarily:

Auto theft and vehicle break-ins — The #1 crime concern in 89183. Don't leave valuables visible in your car. Ever.
Package theft — Like everywhere in America, porch pirates are a thing. Get a Ring camera and consider a lockbox.
Occasional burglaries — Usually targeting homes that appear unoccupied. Keep lights on timers, get to know your neighbors, and you'll be fine.

Which Parts of 89183 Are Safest?

Crime isn't distributed evenly across the zip code.

Safest areas: The southern portions of 89183 have the lowest crime rates — roughly a 1 in 52 chance of being a crime victim annually. Silverado Ranch and the Henderson border areas fall into this category. Higher-crime areas: The northern and northeastern sections see more incidents — roughly 1 in 29 chance annually. These areas are closer to commercial corridors and apartment complexes, which tend to have higher property crime rates everywhere, not just in Las Vegas.

The difference is significant. If safety is your number one priority, focus your home search south of Silverado Ranch Boulevard.

How Does 89183 Compare to Nearby Zip Codes?

89052 (Henderson): Slightly lower crime rate. Henderson has its own police department, which some residents feel provides faster response times.
89123 (north of 89183): Higher crime rate. Closer to the Strip and older commercial areas.
89044 (Inspirada/Henderson): Lower crime rate. Newer development, more affluent demographics.

89183 falls in the middle — safer than the older inner suburbs, but not quite as low-crime as the newest Henderson communities.

Practical Safety Tips

Most crime in 89183 is preventable with basic precautions:

Lock your car. Every single time. This alone eliminates the most common crime in the area.
Don't leave garage doors open. An open garage is an invitation. Many thefts happen in broad daylight when someone walks into an open garage and grabs what they can.
Get a camera system. Ring, Wyze, or similar. The visible presence of cameras is a deterrent, and the footage helps police if something does happen.
Know your neighbors. Neighborhoods where people look out for each other have lower crime rates. Period.
Be smart about landscaping. Overgrown bushes near windows provide cover for burglars. Keep sightlines clear.

The Las Vegas Factor

Here's something that doesn't show up in zip code statistics: Las Vegas's crime reputation is driven almost entirely by the Strip and downtown tourist areas. These zones have extremely high per-capita crime rates because of the transient population, alcohol, and cash-heavy economy.

Suburban zip codes like 89183 operate in a completely different reality. Most residents live quiet, suburban lives that would be unremarkable in any mid-sized American city.

When your relatives from Iowa ask "Isn't Las Vegas dangerous?" the honest answer is: the part you live in, no. The part they visit on vacation, a little bit. But that's true of every major tourist city.

The Bottom Line

89183 is a safe, normal suburban neighborhood. The crime that does exist is almost entirely preventable property crime. Lock your stuff, install a camera, and you'll likely never experience an issue.

Is it the safest zip code in the valley? No — that honor goes to newer Henderson developments and master-planned communities with higher price points. But for the price you pay to live here, the safety profile is excellent.
