49th Precinct (Bronx) Crime Rate, New York City (2024)
49th Precinct (Bronx) is a police precinct in New York City. New York City's open crime data doesn't include a reliable police precinct-level population figure, so this page shows reported incident VOLUME relative to other New York City police precincts for 2024 — not a population-adjusted safety rate.
Volume, not a safety rate. NYPD precinct-level population is not cleanly available without an NTA-to-precinct spatial join (deferred — see report). The neighborhood unit here is the NYPD PRECINCT (a policing jurisdiction, not a resident-population neighborhood boundary), so no per-100k grade is published (see /crime-rate/methodology §6.6). relativeIndex ranks each precinct's severity-weighted reported-incident VOLUME against other NYC precincts — it is NOT population-adjusted and must not be read as a safety rate.

A high Crime Index score means lower reported crime relative to other US cities — it is not a guarantee of safety. Reported crime is not the same as actual crime. Research on the gap between crime that occurs and crime that gets reported to police — often called the "dark figure" of crime — estimates that roughly 40% of violent crime and about a third of property crime go unreported each year. Every index built on official statistics, including this one, necessarily undercounts real crime. That gap is exactly why homicide — the offense with the smallest dark figure — anchors the calculation instead of a more commonly reported but less reliable category like theft.
