New York Bronx North

Name: Crimes per 1,000 residents by neighborhood, Bronx North, Q1 2022 to Q2 2026
Creator: CrimesLog

21 neighborhoods - a quarterly race to the lowest crime rate.

Crime Trends: Neighborhoods compared - each quarter from Q1 2022

New York as a whole averaged 16.5 crimes for every 1,000 residents per quarter in Q2 2026, while the north Bronx averaged 20.6 (leaving out 4 places with almost no residents), hence it is generally less safe when all crimes are considered.

How do the 21 neighborhoods of the north Bronx compare? In Q2 2026 the police recorded 15,318 crimes across them, 20.6 for every 1,000 residents. That is 1.8% below a year earlier and 27.4% above Q1 2022, the first quarter we track.

Riverdale-Spuyten Duyvil has the lowest rate of the everyday neighborhoods (8.0 per 1,000), followed by Pelham Gardens (11.3) and Co-op City (13.1). Mount Hope has the highest (32.4).

Use the RACE CHARTS below to watch all 21 NEW YORK BRONX NORTH NEIGHBORHOODs race across 18 quarter periods from Q1 2022 to Q2 2026 - one crime category at a time or all together. The race chart can be used to compare average crime rates by category against New York's average.

Neighborhood boundaries are defined by NYC Department of City Planning, 2020 Neighborhood Tabulation Areas.

A little history

Bronx North in New York. New York began as New Amsterdam, founded by Dutch traders in the 1620s, and became one city of five boroughs in 1898, today the largest in the United States. Bronx North is the northern part of the Bronx, the only borough on the US mainland, which joined the city in 1874 and 1895. It runs from Fordham and Belmont up to Riverdale, Wakefield and Pelham Bay, and is home to the Bronx Zoo and Pelham Bay Park.

Notable neighborhoods in Bronx North include:

The North Bronx. The northern Bronx runs from Fordham and Belmont up to Riverdale, Wakefield and Pelham Bay. Fordham University was founded here in 1841, the New York Botanical Garden in 1891 and the Bronx Zoo opened in 1899. Woodlawn Cemetery has been in use since 1863, and Pelham Bay Park is the largest park in the city. Co-op City, built in the late 1960s, is among the largest cooperative housing developments in the United States.

Reported Safety Incidents

In Q2 2026: public order incidents were 41% (6,329), violent incidents were 23% (3,584), property incidents were 22% (3,432) and vehicle crimes were 8% (1,302).

Recorded crime here is grouped into violent crime, property crime (burglary and theft), vehicle crime and public order offences, so you can compare how safe each neighborhood is for the kind of crime that matters to you.

Read category comparisons with care. A category that jumps while the total hardly moves looks like a change in how offences are classified, not in what happened: Q4 2022: vehicle up 35% while the total moved 3%; Q1 2026: violent down 36% while the total moved 3%. The whole-area rate is the steadier guide.

Places we left out, and places to read with care

Left out: Bronx Park; Hart Island; Van Cortlandt Park; Woodlawn Cemetery. They have almost no residents: their crimes are against visitors, so a rate per resident says little about living there.

Pelham Bay Park is a large park with very few residents (396.1 per 1,000 from 61 crimes among 154 residents), so it is not named as the lowest or highest. Hutchinson Metro Center is a business park with few residents (137.7 per 1,000 from 73 crimes among 530 residents), so it is not named as the lowest or highest.

Rates are recorded crimes per 1,000 residents, quarter by quarter; where a neighborhood has fewer than 100 residents the rate would be worked out on 100 (those places are left out of the race). A count of recorded crime is not a verdict on any neighborhood.
