The news isn t all grim. Violent-crime rates have declined over the past four years in some Denver neighborhoods, including Whittier, which has registered just six violent crimes so far this year, compared to 28 in the first half of 2017. But violent crimes in many other neighborhoods are well ahead of the pace from 2017. In Civic Center, for example, there were 25 violent crimes between the start of 2021 and April 19, just one off the 26 counted in the first six months of 2017.
Here are the stats for every official Denver neighborhood, ranked from lowest to highest crime density the number of violent crimes per square mile so far in 2021. Also included are comparisons to the figures for the first six months of 2017; the names of neighborhoods with more violent crimes so far this year appear in bold, while four others with an equal number are italicized.
Democrat Javier Mabrey, an attorney and co-founder of a group that defends Coloradans facing eviction, announced Tuesday that he s running in next year s election for House District 1, a southwest Denver seat held by term-limited Democratic state Rep. Susan Lontine.
Raised by a single mother whose only source of income was a disability check, Mabrey, 30, said he wants to bring his experience growing up in the district â dependent on food stamps, his family faced eviction and was homeless for a stretch â to advocate for economic and racial justice at the state Capitol. Too many Coloradans struggle to get by,â Mabrey said. âColorado families deserve better â they deserve someone who will fight for them. Everyone should have access to good paying jobs, affordable housing and health care.â
