New York Brooklyn North

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

29 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 north Brooklyn averaged 18.9 (leaving out 6 places with almost no residents), hence it is generally less safe when all crimes are considered.

How do the 29 neighborhoods of north Brooklyn compare? In Q2 2026 the police recorded 26,578 crimes across them, 18.9 for every 1,000 residents. That is 1.1% below a year earlier and 23.7% above Q1 2022, the first quarter we track.

Windsor Terrace-South Slope has the lowest rate of the everyday neighborhoods (3.7 per 1,000), followed by South Williamsburg (6.3) and Prospect Heights (8.3). Downtown Brooklyn-DUMBO-Boerum Hill has the highest (41.0).

Use the RACE CHARTS below to watch all 29 NEW YORK BROOKLYN 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

Brooklyn North in New York. New York, founded by Dutch traders as New Amsterdam in the 1620s and renamed by the English in 1664, is today the largest city in the United States. Brooklyn North is the northern half of Brooklyn, the city's most populous borough, at the western end of Long Island. It runs from Greenpoint and Williamsburg to Brownsville and East New York, with Brooklyn Heights, DUMBO and Downtown Brooklyn on the waterfront.

Notable neighborhoods in Brooklyn North include:

Brooklyn North. The northern half of Brooklyn runs from Greenpoint and Williamsburg through Bushwick, Bedford-Stuyvesant and Crown Heights to Brownsville and East New York, with Brooklyn Heights, DUMBO and Downtown Brooklyn on the waterfront. The Brooklyn Navy Yard opened in 1801, and the ironclad USS Monitor was built in Greenpoint in 1862. Prospect Park, designed by Olmsted and Vaux, opened in 1867, and Ebbets Field in Crown Heights was the Brooklyn Dodgers' home from 1913 until 1957.

Reported Safety Incidents

In Q2 2026: public order incidents were 43% (11,319), property incidents were 23% (6,243), violent incidents were 18% (4,847) and vehicle crimes were 8% (2,213).

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: Q3 2022: vehicle up 39% while the total moved 2%; Q1 2026: violent down 43% while the total moved 4%. The whole-area rate is the steadier guide.

Places we left out, and places to read with care

Left out: Brooklyn Navy Yard; Green-Wood Cemetery; Highland Park-Cypress Hills Cemeteries (South); Lincoln Terrace Park; Prospect Park; The Evergreens Cemetery. They have almost no residents: their crimes are against visitors, so a rate per resident says little about living there.

CrimesLog sources crime incident data published by the New York City Police Department (NYPD) through the NYC Open Data Portal, containing public sector information governed by the NYC Open Data Law (Local Law 11 of 2012) and the NYC.gov Terms of Use.

Neighborhood boundaries are defined by NYC Department of City Planning, 2020 Neighborhood Tabulation Areas (NYC Open Data), merged and simplified by CrimesLog. The photographs are credited under each picture.

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.
