This is a analysis for April 2019 based on data posted by the Louisville Metro Police Department at and website website at https://data.louisvilleky.gov/dataset/crime-reports/resource/6d81fdf8-27e7-41ac-9ae4-1bfd8730f002
It is a Microsoft Excel file that requires just a touch of manipulation and sorting
As usual it includes the crimes reported within the boundaries of the historical Bon Air Neighborhood as defined:
1) Bardstown Road on the West
2) Hikes Lane on the South
3) Furman Blvd on the East and
4) Taylorsville Rd and the Watterson Expressway on the North.
Also as usual, the crime reports do not include precise addresses, so some of the information can reflect crimes happening just on the other side of the boundaries.
Overall, it could be concluded that crime declined by about 20.75 percent over April. There were 42 reports of incidents within the defined area. There were 32 reports within the 40218 portion and 10 reports within the 40220 section. That is down from 53 reports in March. For further perspective, there were 64 reports for the neighborhood in January and 33 reports in February.
The locations of higher frequency were:
The incidents at 2300 Goldsmith Lane were missing person reports. Having worked at a similar agency early in my career, I would surmise that those were kids running from Boys and Girls Haven.
If we removed those cases, the actual crime report for the neighborhood would be lower.
Noe Way started to show up again. It had two vehicle break-ins, one assault and one stolen vehicle report. Noe Way consists of apartment houses in the southeast corner of the neighborhood. When I did this analysis years ago, I recall Noe Way having a consistent number of crime reports.
There was one burglary report at 2200 Heather Lane. I would like to think that the lack of burglary reports are due to people taking good security steps such as alarms and pulling down shades when not at home.
To get a much better and conclusive report, a LMPD representative will be at Brent Ackerson's town hall on 5/11/19 at 9:30 at the John Paul II campus on Hikes Lane (Former St. Barnabas campus).
The Bon Air Neighborhood Association will indeed have a representative from LMPD at our membership meeting on Monday, May 13, 2019 at 6:30 pm at the Creekside 3535 Bardstown Road. They will give an accurate report of what is happening and will be there to take your questions. Please join us.
