Located in the Bronx, Hunts Point is one of the bad parts of New York because of the prostitution and drug problems that spread through the area. This neighborhood is trying to keep its dangerous past in the past, but that's still a fruitless feat. Mostly because it's one of the most dangerous areas in the Bronx. Rehabilitation centers and patrol officers are too many to try to keep the crime rate at bay.

These areas always rank highest per capita in terms of reported violent crimes and robberies, and a crime rate at least 10 to 146% higher than the New York average.
Other areas to avoid include Bedford-Stuyvesant, Fordham and Tremont. Midtown is one of New York's top tourist destinations but it still has its fair share of dangerous neighborhoods such as Bedford-Stuyvesant which is known for its historic brownstone houses and Victorian architecture but also for being one of Brooklyn's most dangerous neighborhoods. Flushing located on Queens borough is also considered one of New York's most dangerous areas due to its high crime rate per capita. So far it is clear that some areas are more dangerous than others when it comes to New York City but what can be done about it? The data was taken from crimes reported by the New York City Police Department and from some of the information in the Crime Safety Report & Analysis.
The increase in patrol officers has helped reduce crime rates but there are still some areas where it is recommended not to walk alone at night or even during day time such as La Alondra de Santa María or Bushwick which has a total of 2,511 reported crimes per capita.
