3. Hunts Point
Ranked 67/69 safest for all crimes
For the longest time, Hunts Point had to work hard to veer away from its reputation of being home to prostitutes. The city made extra efforts, like gentrification, which all resulted in lesser crime rates. However, because rape incidents continue being a challenge to this area, they still ranked very low in the safety index. With a recorded 135 serious crime incidents per 10,000 residents, as well as arrests in rape cases increasing over five times, it is no surprise that this neighborhood ranked high in danger.
