Citywide scorecard
Murder
5
YTD: 198-21%
NYPD CompStat · as of Oct 5, 2026
Reported rape
40
YTD: 1,580+3%
NYPD CompStat · as of Oct 5, 2026
Important context: Reported rapes rose 10.1%. Two things complicate that comparison: New York expanded its legal definition of rape in September 2024, and these statistics count crimes when they're reported, not when they occurred — some reports describe earlier incidents. More reports can reflect more survivors coming forward rather than more crime; it can also not. The data can't separate the two. Why this is complicated →

Hate Crimes
3
YTD: 460+13%
NYPD CompStat · as of Oct 5, 2026
Important context: Hate-crime figures count incidents reported to and confirmed by the NYPD as bias-motivated. A year-over-year change can reflect shifts in reporting and victims' willingness to come forward as much as a change in the number of incidents — the data can't separate the two.
