This is a analysis for May, 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.
In the 40220 zip code Noe Way has made an undesirable comeback as the location with the most police reports with five reports. Noe Way is pretty much all apartment complexes.
Both 2900 Rio Rita Avenue and Masemure Ct (both apartment complex areas) had three reports each. Otherewise, the breakdown for the month in 40220 is as follows:
One small trend that is disturbing to me is the increase in crime in the Bon Air Estates area where there were a series of vehicle break-ins on Shannon Drive around 5/26-5/28. There was also a burglary in the area.

Crime appeared to be up from April in that there were 73 reports in the defined area.
There were 47 reports in the 40218 area of the neighborhood and 26 reports in the 40220 portion.
In terms of breakdowns, the 3300 Block of Bardstown Rd is the location with the most police reports of 15 reports. It had
- two assault reports
- one disturbing the peace report
- one fraud report
- two motor vehicle thefts
- two robberies
- five theft/larcenty reports and
- one weapons report
I have been trying to keep more of an eye as to what happens at the Budgetel Inn, and only one report of a robbery could be confidently placed there. A couple of reports are placed in a parking lot, but there are no parking lots that can be identified as autonomous apart from businesses.
Otherwise, in terms of the 40218 area, the breakdown could be identified as follows
| assault | 7 |
| burglary | 2 |
| motor vehicle theft | 3 |
| larceny/theft | 10 |
| robbery | 2 |
| vehicle/break-n | 2 |
| Weapons | 2 |
| Missing Persons | 7 |

As has been encouraged, keep your cars locked. Bon Air has a not so good history of letting your cars warm up with the doors unlocked. It is a crime of opportunity.
Otherwise, if you have any particular concerns to discuss, the Bon Air Neighborhood Association will have it's monthly board meeting on June 8, 2019 at 6:30 in the Bon Air Library Community Room. Hope to see you there.
