New York as a whole averaged 16.5 crimes for every 1,000 residents per quarter in Q2 2026, while northeast Queens averaged 9.3 (leaving out 5 places with almost no residents), hence it is generally safer when all crimes are considered.

A little history

Queens North East in New York. New York was founded by Dutch traders as New Amsterdam in the 1620s, renamed by the English in 1664, and in 1898 joined Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx and Staten Island into one city, today the largest in the United States. Queens North East lies in the north-east of Queens, the city's largest borough by area, and runs from Flushing through College Point, Bayside and Douglaston to Fresh Meadows and Little Neck on the Nassau County line.

Notable neighborhoods in Queens North East include:

Queens North East. The north-east of Queens runs from Flushing, founded by the Dutch as Vlissingen in 1645, through College Point, Bayside and Douglaston to Fresh Meadows and Little Neck on the Nassau County line. The Flushing Remonstrance of 1657 is an early American statement of religious freedom, and the Bowne House, built in 1661, still stands in Flushing. Fort Totten was built on the Long Island Sound shore from 1862.

Reported Safety Incidents

In Q2 2026: public order incidents were 41% (1,935), property incidents were 21% (1,012), violent incidents were 19% (897) and vehicle crimes were 14% (667).

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 47% while the total moved 9%; Q2 2026: vehicle up 25% while the total moved 7%. The whole-area rate is the steadier guide.

Places we left out, and places to read with care

Left out: Alley Pond Park; Cunningham Park; Fort Totten; Kissena Park; Mount Hebron & Cedar Grove Cemeteries. They have almost no residents: their crimes are against visitors, so a rate per resident says little about living there.
