New York City · Neighborhood crime trends

New York Manhattan North

16 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 northern Manhattan averaged 16.7 (leaving out 3 places with almost no residents), hence it is generally about as safe as New York as a whole when all crimes are considered.

How do the 16 neighborhoods of northern Manhattan compare? In Q2 2026 the police recorded 15,296 crimes across them, 16.7 for every 1,000 residents. That is 2.5% below a year earlier and 5.1% above Q1 2022, the first quarter we track.

Upper East Side-Yorkville has the lowest rate of the everyday neighborhoods (5.9 per 1,000), followed by Upper West Side (Central) (10.1) and Morningside Heights (10.2). East Harlem (North) has the highest (30.1).

How neighborhoods moved each quarter

2022

Whole-area crime rate 15.9 to 17.5 per 1,000 (high: Q2 2022).

No neighborhood moved more than three places in a quarter.

2023

Whole-area crime rate 15.8 to 17.7 per 1,000 (high: Q3 2023).

Big moves (4+ places in a quarter): moved up Washington Heights (South) 9th→5th (Q4)

2024

Whole-area crime rate 15.5 to 17.2 per 1,000 (high: Q3 2024).

No neighborhood moved more than three places in a quarter.

2025

Whole-area crime rate 16.0 to 17.1 per 1,000 (high: Q2 2025).

No neighborhood moved more than three places in a quarter.

2026

Whole-area crime rate 15.2 to 16.7 per 1,000 (high: Q2 2026). 2 quarters so far.

Big moves (4+ places in a quarter): moved up Upper East Side-Carnegie Hill 9th→5th (Q1)

Reported Safety Incidents

In Q2 2026: public order incidents were 49% (7,486), property incidents were 24% (3,610), violent incidents were 18% (2,823) and vehicle crimes were 5% (838).

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: Q1 2026: violent down 45% while the total moved 5%. The whole-area rate is the steadier guide.

Places we left out, and places to read with care

Left out: Central Park; Highbridge Park; Inwood Hill Park. They have almost no residents: their crimes are against visitors, so a rate per resident says little about living there.

Randall's Island (40.9 per 1,000 from 98 crimes among 2,395 residents) is a place with few residents (under 3,000): a rate on so few people says little about living there, 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.
