Crime reports in Queens, New York City

What the 91,610 Queens reports include

The 91,610 figure is a count of incident records assigned to Queens in the NYPD open-data feed that LocalCrimeVault indexes. Each row is a police report: a documented event NYPD published with this borough field. The number is not a resident population, a victimization survey, or a conviction tally. It is the size of the public table for this borough.

Because Queens's count sits inside a citywide pool of 400,500, the page is a slice of the New York City file, not a separate dataset. Readers comparing areas should keep that denominator in view: a high raw count can reflect reporting volume, how NYPD codes location, and the size of the borough, not a single unofficial ranking.

Queens is the borough label on these NYPD rows. Borough is the geography this packet supports. Precincts, community districts, and neighborhood tabulation areas are different systems. A precinct map will not add to 91,610 unless NYPD also stored that borough string on the row. Use the borough table when you cite this page.

Reports are not convictions

NYPD open data records what officers documented, not what a prosecutor charged or a court decided. Duplicate calls, unfounded reports, and incidents later reclassified can still appear as rows. A missing arrest field does not prove that nothing happened; a present arrest field does not prove a guilty finding. Treat every Queens total on this page as a report count.

LocalCrimeVault does not add narrative color to individual cases. The overlay and the incident table are for people who need a public-record baseline. Open data lags live dispatch and omits sealed or restricted records. The 400,500 citywide total is the only denominator this packet supports for share math.

Queens's share of citywide NYPD reports

Divide 91,610 by 400,500 and Queens is about 22.9 percent of the indexed New York City file. That is a concentration of reports in one borough, not a statement about safety relative to suburbs or other metros. The city total is the same denominator used on other New York City area pages on this site, so shares are comparable across those pages.

Share and raw count answer different questions. The raw count (91,610) is what you filter, map, and page through. The share tells you how much of the published New York City feed sits in Queens. Neither figure is a crime rate. Rates need a population or exposure denominator that this packet does not include, so this page does not compute one.

How to read the Queens incident table

The area hub lists the Queens rows behind the 91,610 total. Sort and filter there rather than treating the headline as a story. Type, date, and block-level fields (where published) live on that table. This guide exists to explain the headline count and the limits of the feed. The table path is /cities/new-york/neighborhood/queens/.

This packet has no offense-type mix, so this guide will not invent one. If a type filter reduces the table below 91,610, you have left the headline on purpose; say so in the caption. For citywide context, step up to the New York City hub, which uses the 400,500 city total as its frame.

Source and update caveats

Source: New York City Police Department incidents via NYC Open Data, indexed on LocalCrimeVault. NYPD can revise rows after publication. Counts on this page match the index snapshot used to build the packet, not a live query you run later on the city portal. If you need a court disposition, this is the wrong dataset.

Using the Queens table next to the city hub

The New York City hub is the parent file of 400,500 reports. Queens's about-22.9 percent share only means something against that parent. Do not paste 91,610 into a story that already used a different city total. Pair the two integers, name NYPD open data, and keep the reports-not-convictions clause on the same screen as the number.

If you export rows, you are still looking at police reports. Geocodes may be offset to a block. Some addresses are blank. Borough assignment can change when NYPD repairs a location. 91,610 is the indexed snapshot for Queens, not a promise that a query on the city portal tomorrow returns the same integer.

Questions

How many crime reports are there in Queens, New York City?

LocalCrimeVault indexes 91,610 NYPD incident reports for Queens, out of 400,500 reports citywide in the same feed. That is about 22.9 percent of indexed New York City reports. The number counts published police reports, not convictions, arrests as a share of reports, or a population-based crime rate.

Are Queens crime numbers convictions?

No. The 91,610 total is a count of NYPD incident records in NYC Open Data. A report can be unfounded, reclassified, or never charged. Court outcomes live in a different system. Use this page for public police-report volume in Queens, not for guilt or sentencing.

What geography is Queens in the New York City data?

Queens is the published borough name on these incident rows. NYPD and many city files still use that label as the location key. LocalCrimeVault files Queens reports under the overlay table so researchers can match the source string without changing the underlying 91,610-row extract.
