Key figures
- 31,551 New York City incidents are coded Grand Larceny — about 7.9% of 400,500 city reports.
- The type string is NYPD offense classification as published; this site does not recode it.
- Rows are police reports from city open data, not convictions or unique offenders.
- LocalCrimeVault does not reclassify NYPD charges.
What 31,551 Grand Larceny reports measure
31,551 rows are NYPD Grand Larceny reports. Grand larceny is the higher-degree larceny classification as published, not petit larceny and not robbery.
Petit larceny and grand larceny of a motor vehicle are separate labels. Keep 31,551 on this string. The official published label is "Grand Larceny." LocalCrimeVault does not rewrite that string. The 31,551 figure is a count of incident records, not unique people, not recovered property, and not hospital cases.
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. LocalCrimeVault displays that field as the agency published it. If a report was written as Grand Larceny, it stays under that string here even when a reader might use a shorter everyday name. This page does not split the 31,551 rows into 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 in the field; the public extract typically exposes one published type per row. Readers comparing New York City to another city should match definitions: other agencies may file similar events under different statute names that never appear in this list.
Grand Larceny as a share of New York City reports
Relative to 400,500 New York City incidents in this extract, 31,551 reports coded Grand Larceny are about 7.9 percent of the city file. That share is a statement about how NYPD labeled the public feed, not a statement about which events matter more to a community. High-volume types dominate tables; rarer types can still be the events residents ask about first.
Keep the denominator in view: 7.9 percent of the indexed city total is not 7.9 percent of all harm in New York City, and it is not a crime rate. Rates need a population or exposure denominator that this packet does not include.
Reports, not convictions
A Grand Larceny 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 31,551 as a conviction tally would overstate legal outcomes and understate how much volume in a big-city feed never reaches court. The respectful use of this page is statistical: how large is this label relative to the 400,500 New York City incidents in the index.
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 Grand Larceny table
The type hub lists the 31,551 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 business or resident was involved. Sort and filter the table; do not treat the headline as a story.
Nothing in the 31,551 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.
Where to go next in the New York City data
Use the New York City type hub for the live table of these 31,551 rows. The city-wide New York City hub places this label beside the rest of the published mix so the 7.9 percent share is visible in context. A cross-city view of the same type slug exists for readers who need the label outside New York City; definitions still follow each agency's feed, not a recode by LocalCrimeVault.
If you are documenting a method, record the extract and the 31,551 / 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, which is expected for a public incident feed rather than a frozen annual report.
The headline count on this page is 31,551 indexed reports for the published geography or type label in the packet against a city file of 400,500 reports where that denominator is present. 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 Grand Larceny reports are in the New York City index?
- This extract includes 31,551 New York City incidents coded Grand Larceny. That is about 7.9 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 Grand Larceny the same as other property or person categories?
- No. This page covers only rows whose published type is Grand Larceny (31,551 reports). Other labels 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 Grand Larceny 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 31,551 count should be read as report volume. Court records live outside this narrative.
- Where does LocalCrimeVault get New York City Grand Larceny 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.
