The 0–100 scale is calibrated to New York — a typical New York neighborhood sits near 53. It ranks Greenpoint against other neighborhoods here, and cannot be read against a score in another city.
Most of what's reported here is property-related — other theft alone is 34% of reports — rather than violence against strangers, though the full mix below is worth a look.
Incidents spread across the day here — roughly 29% of severity-weighted reports come in the evening (6 p.m.–midnight) and 17% overnight.

How is the Greenpoint safety index calculated?
SafeRoute weights each incident reported to the NYPD by severity (violence weighs more than shoplifting), sums the last available period within 1 km of the neighborhood center, and normalizes against citywide crime rates onto a 0–100 scale — higher is safer. It describes reported crime only; it is not a guarantee of safety. The scale is calibrated within New York, so scores compare neighborhoods to each other and cannot be read against another city's.
