Is Concord safe to walk?
This page covers traffic crashes, not crime. We don't rate cities as safe or unsafe: crash counts can't say how risky a street is, and busy streets have more crashes partly because more people use them. What the records show: 263 pedestrian crashes were reported in Concord from 2021–2026, 49 of them serious or fatal (12 fatal). The most were at Concord Ave & Harrison St (15). 39% involved a driver turning, 18% turning left. 45% of the people hit were in a crosswalk at an intersection.

Source: California Crash Reporting System (CCRS), 2021–2026. A report with no coordinates is placed at the intersection its street names give; reports with neither are not counted, so these numbers are lower than the real total. Crashes on freeways are left out. Busy streets show more crashes partly because more people use them. Data last rebuilt 2026-10-22. How the data works.
