Burglary reports in New York City

What 9,204 Burglary reports measure

9,204 rows are coded Burglary as NYPD labeled the report. Burglary in this feed is not robbery (taking by force or fear) and is not petit or grand larceny without the burglary label. The official published label is "Burglary." LocalCrimeVault does not rewrite that string.

The 9,204 figure is a count of incident records, not unique buildings, not forced-entry confirmations, and not recovered property. Property-taking categories without a burglary label sit elsewhere in the 400,500-row city file. Mixing them would inflate a structure-entry total NYPD did not publish as one field.

How NYPD type labels work on this feed

Every row on the New York City open-data incident extract carries a type field drawn from NYPD offense classification as published. If a report was written as Burglary, it stays under that string here even when a reader might say "break-in." This page does not split the 9,204 rows into residential, commercial, or attempt subtypes the packet does not contain.

A primary type is not a criminal conviction and is not a UCR hierarchy rule applied after the fact. A single field event can involve more than one offense; the public extract typically exposes one published type per row. Other agencies may file similar events under burglary-from-vehicle or criminal trespass names that never appear in this New York City burglary list.

Everyday speech uses burglary, robbery, and break-in as if they were one category. NYPD did not. This page holds only Burglary. Robbery and named larceny types remain outside the 9,204 total. This extract is one harvest of NYC Open Data as indexed on LocalCrimeVault, not a locksmith log or an insurance claim file.

Burglary as a share of New York City reports

Relative to 400,500 New York City incidents in this extract, 9,204 reports coded Burglary are about 2.3 percent of the city file. That share describes labeling volume. It does not say which neighborhoods experienced more reports; geography lives on the table, not in this headline.

Keep the denominator in view: 2.3 percent of the indexed city total is not 2.3 percent of all harm in New York City, and it is not a crime rate. Rates need a population or housing-unit denominator that this packet does not include.

Reports, not convictions

A Burglary row means a report was taken and coded. It does not mean a prosecutor filed a charge, a judge entered a finding, or a person was identified. Treating 9,204 as a conviction tally would overstate legal outcomes and understate how much volume in a big-city feed never reaches court.

New York City Police Department publishes the underlying incidents through NYC Open Data. LocalCrimeVault indexes that feed. If the agency later updates a record, the public count can move. This page describes the extract as harvested, not a forecast and not a neighborhood safety score.

How to read the Burglary table

The type hub lists the 9,204 rows with the fields NYPD shares publicly: date, coarse location, and related attributes. Block ranges are intentionally coarse. They are not street-number addresses, and they are not proof that a named building or resident was involved.

Nothing in the 9,204 count tells you clearance, restitution, or whether property was recovered. Those outcomes are outside this extract. If a filter reduces the table, you have left the headline on purpose.

A coarse location on a Burglary row is not a unit number and not proof that a named household filed the report. The 9,204 count does not describe entry method or property taken. Quote the type hub for the headline; quote a filtered view only if you name the filter.

Where to go next in the New York City data

Use the New York City type hub for the live table of these 9,204 rows. The city-wide New York City hub places Burglary beside robbery and larceny labels so the 2.3 percent share is visible in context. A cross-city view of the same type slug exists; definitions still follow each agency's feed.

If you are documenting a method, record the extract and the 9,204 / 400,500 pair. Open-data crime files are living tables. A later harvest can add late-submitted reports or drop rows the agency has sealed or corrected. Cite the overlay table for row-level fields. Keep reports and convictions in separate sentences.

The headline count on this page is 9,204 indexed reports for the published type label against a city file of 400,500 reports. LocalCrimeVault indexes the public incident feed for New York City. Cite the overlay table for row-level fields. Keep reports and convictions in separate sentences. Do not treat this guide as a live dispatch feed, a victimization survey, or a court docket. If a later harvest moves the integer, the new snapshot is a new citation, not a silent revision of this page.

Questions

How many Burglary reports are in the New York City index?

This extract includes 9,204 New York City incidents coded Burglary. That is about 2.3 percent of 400,500 city incidents indexed on LocalCrimeVault. The figure counts police reports from NYC Open Data, not convictions, arrests, or unique offenders. NYPD assigned the type; LocalCrimeVault does not reclassify charges.

Is Burglary the same as robbery or larceny?

No. This page covers only rows whose published type is Burglary (9,204 reports). Robbery and named larceny types on the New York City feed are separate. Mixing categories would inflate totals and blur what each NYPD string records. Use the city hub if you need the mix of all types against 400,500 reports.

Does a Burglary incident mean someone was convicted?

No. Public incident rows are reports. They can remain in the open-data feed if no arrest was made, if charges were declined, or if the case was later unfounded and not yet removed. The 9,204 count should be read as report volume. Court records live outside this narrative.

Where does LocalCrimeVault get New York City Burglary counts?

Counts come from New York City Police Department incidents published on NYC Open Data and indexed here. Offense types are NYPD offense classification as published. LocalCrimeVault does not reclassify charges. Compare the type table with the New York City hub if you need this label next to the other 400,500 city reports.
