Of the 5,856 residential streets carrying a Street crime figure, 1,280 have recorded no felony assault, robbery, murder or home break-in since 2021. The middle street sits at 1.8 per 100 homes.
The Shape of It
Street pages carry a Street crime figure under the crash record. It counts what the NYPD recorded midblock on that one street in four categories, felony assault, robbery, murder and a break-in at a home, from January 2021 through June 2026. Streets with at least 20 homes also get a rate per 100 of them.
Across the 9,795 streets that carry the figure, the total is 112,639 events. The distribution under that total is the part worth knowing. Of the 5,856 residential streets with a rate, the middle one reads 1.8 counted events per 100 homes across five and a half years, and 1,280 of them read nothing at all.
The Boroughs Do Not Line Up With Traffic
On the median residential street, the Bronx reads 3.6 per 100 homes, Manhattan 2.2, Queens 2.1, Brooklyn 1.7 and Staten Island 0. On Staten Island 54 percent of residential streets have recorded none of the four, against 4 percent in Manhattan.
That order is not the traffic-safety order, where Staten Island and Manhattan lead and Queens finishes last. The two measures come from two files and answer two questions.
Where It Sits in the Grade
Street crime is one of the seven measures on the calm side of a street's livability grade, ranked against streets of the same type and carrying 15 percent of that half, about a tenth of the score. The count and the rate per 100 homes are printed beside the grade as well, because a count of police reports measures reporting as much as it measures the block, and a reader should be able to weigh it themselves rather than take it only as a rank.
What the figure sets aside, why a corner belongs to neither of its streets, and why a precinct station house is dropped from its own address are all in what the crime data can and cannot tell you.
Look up your street and read the count, the rate per 100 homes and the median for the street's own type together. One of those three is the number that argues with a reputation.
Scores are built from 311 complaints, HPD violations, NYPD crash records, NYPD felony complaint records, MTA stop locations, DOHMH food permits, and the street tree census, divided by the homes and businesses on the street, updated weekly.
