Crime
What this is
These are complaints: crimes someone reported, recorded by NYPD. Not arrests, not convictions, and not every crime: some go unreported, more in some places than others. Victims and suspects aren’t part of what’s kept here. NYPD publishes a quarter behind.

Neighborhood leaderboard
Reports a km² over the past year. Places people visit (Midtown, shopping strips, transit hubs) count crimes against visitors too, so a rate per resident would mislead as much as this flatters.
