7. Downtown
Ranked 63/69 safest for all crimes
Downtown used to be one of the best neighborhoods in NYC until September 11. The tragedy has taken its toll in the area, which brought about heaps of changes in the entire neighborhood. What used to be office buildings have been turned into apartments, strip clubs now turned into classy restaurants and boutiques. The crime rates in Downtown have looked better these past few years, as major crimes have fallen 79 percent. However, because the neighborhood has a low population, it scored high enough in property crime rates, where it got 191 per 10,000 residents.
