Is NoHo safe to walk?
This page covers traffic crashes, not crime. We don't rate neighborhoods 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: 95 pedestrian crashes were reported in NoHo from 2021–2026, 46 of them serious or fatal (12 fatal). The most were at Lankershim Blvd & Oxnard St (9). 24% involved a driver turning, 12% turning left. 34% of the people hit were in a crosswalk at an intersection.
NoHo here is the NOHO Neighborhood Council area, as the City of Los Angeles draws it; its edges may differ from where residents put the neighborhood.

Nearby neighborhoods in Los Angeles
Source: California Crash Reporting System (CCRS), 2021–2026. A crash counts toward the neighborhood whose outline holds its point. 89 of the 95 crashes here had no coordinates on the report and were placed at the intersection its street names give. Reports with neither coordinates nor usable street names aren't on the map, 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. Outline: City of Los Angeles, Neighborhood Councils (Certified). Data last rebuilt 2026-10-07. How the data works.
