Review of Destrehan, Louisiana


Crime Rate In Destrehan, La.
Star Rating - 3/5/2006
We are being transferred to the New Orleans area and are thinking about buying a home in Destrehan, specifically in Ormand Subdivision. Destrehan is approximately 20 miles outside of New Orleans and I heard the crime rate is pretty low. Could you provide any feedback on this matter?

Crime is very low in Destrehan compared to the entire Saint Charles Parish. Statistics are only available for the parishes. See the 2000 statistics below. Orleans Parish has more than 15 times the crime rate of Saint Charles Parish. I've lived in Destrehan for two years and never had any problems with crime in my neighborhood. Also, our sheriff, Greg Champagne, has made arrests on over 95% of the crimes that occurred in the parish. Crimes in Saint Charles Parish: Total 2,062 Murder 4 Rape 11 Robbery 33 Aggravated Assault 338 Burglary 475 Larceny - theft 1,046 Motor vehicle thefts 130 Crimes in Orleans Parish Total 34,632 Murder 204 Rape 233 Robbery 2,425 Aggravated Assault 2,312 Burglary 5,298 Larceny - theft 16,027 Motor vehicle thefts 7,924
