Crime in St. Matthews has been volatile. Property crimes peaked at 1,133 in 2019, but have since trended downward, reaching 519 in 2025 (though 2022 saw a spike to 793). Violent incidents rose to 329 in 2024, but early 2026 data shows a significant drop to only 26 violent and 25 property incidents.

Overall, the long-term trend from the peak years (2018-2020) to the most recent data (2025 and early 2026) shows a substantial improvement, especially in property and violent crime categories.

This property is well-suited for investors or first-time buyers looking for an affordable entry point in a neighbourhood with strong transit and abundant amenities. The improving safety trend and proximity to multiple places of worship and ethnic grocery stores make it attractive for diverse families.

However, recent violent crime rates remain a concern for families with young children; the area may be better suited for singles, couples, or investors prioritizing convenience and potential for appreciation.
