Is Noe Valley 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.

The most were at 24th St & Noe St (3). 15% involved a driver turning, 15% turning left. 70% of the people hit were in a crosswalk at an intersection.
Noe Valley here is one of the Analysis Neighborhoods the City of San Francisco uses for its own statistics, built from Census tracts; its edges may differ from where residents put the neighborhood.

Nearby neighborhoods in San Francisco

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: DataSF, Analysis Neighborhoods. Data last rebuilt 2026-10-07. How the data works.
