San Francisco's Chinatown is the oldest in North America and one of the densest neighborhoods in the city. Grant Avenue and Stockton Street are the main commercial spines, packed with markets, dim sum houses, and historic association buildings.
Over the 90 days ending June 2026, the SFPD recorded 407 crime incidents in Chinatown, about 10% fewer than the previous 90 days. The most common were larceny theft and lost property.
