NYC THE SAFEST LARGE CITY IN AMERICA

FBI Statistics Show 4% Drop in Overall Crime in New York City in 2004 Compared to 1.1% Drop Nationwide, New York City is Safest of 25 Largest Cities in America

New York City is the safest large city in America with crime dropping to levels not seen in decades. According to FBI’s Uniform Crime Report for 2004, the city experienced a 4% drop in overall crime from 2003 to 2004 compared to the national drop of just 1.1%, and a 14% drop from 2001 to 2004 compared to the national drop of just 1.5%. New York City is responsible for 20% of the entire nation’s decline in crime since 2001.

“Our goal hasn’t been just to keep New York City America’s safest big city, it’s been to make America’s safest city even safer,” said Mayor Bloomberg. “Today’s report by the FBI shows we have done just that. Not only do our decreases outpace the nation’s, they do so by a factor of almost ten since 2001. I want to thank the brave men and women of the NYPD for this remarkable achievement, while also dealing with the constant threat of terrorism.”

“The FBI’s ranking of New York City as the safest big city in American is fantastic news for the nearly 40 million visitors who come to our great city each year,” said NYC & Company President & CEO Cristyne L. Nicholas. “This news shows why New York City has become such a popular destination for visitors who come from around the world to see the attractions, Broadway shows, world-class shopping, museums and the finest restaurants in the world.”

Of the 240 cities with a population of 100,000 or more that reported to the FBI, New York City now ranks 222 between Fontana, California and Port St. Lucie, Florida. Out of the nation’s 10 and 25 largest cities, New York City ranked the safest with the fewest overall crimes on the total crime index.
