Block-Level Safety Analysis
Precise Location Analysis
Unlike city-wide crime maps, we analyze data within walking distance of your specific address. A few blocks can make a big difference in NYC.
Recency Weighting
Recent incidents are weighted more heavily than older ones. A crime from last month matters more than one from two years ago.
Pattern Recognition
We identify patterns like recurring incidents at specific locations, which may indicate ongoing problems vs. isolated events.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I check if a NYC neighborhood is safe?
Enter any NYC address on DwellCheck to get an instant safety score based on NYPD crime data, arrest records, and 311 complaints within walking distance. We analyze data within a 400-meter radius to give you block-level safety insights.
What crime data does DwellCheck use?
We use official NYPD data including: historic crime complaints (felonies, misdemeanors, violations), arrest records, and shooting incidents. We also incorporate 311 complaints related to safety such as drug activity reports and illegal dumping.
How is the safety score calculated?
Safety scores start at 100 and deduct points based on crime severity, recency, and frequency within walking distance. Violent crimes (assault, robbery) have the highest impact, while minor violations have less effect. Recent incidents are weighted more heavily than older ones.
How recent is the crime data?
NYPD crime data is updated regularly through NYC Open Data. Our analysis typically includes incidents from the past 2-3 years, with more recent incidents weighted more heavily in the safety score calculation.
Can crime data predict future safety?
While past crime data is the best available indicator of neighborhood safety, it cannot predict the future. Crime patterns can change due to policing, development, and other factors. We recommend using DwellCheck as one input alongside visiting the area at different times of day.
What does a low safety score mean?
A low safety score indicates higher-than-average crime activity within walking distance. It does not mean the area is unsafe for everyone, but suggests increased vigilance may be warranted. Look at the specific crime types in our detailed breakdown to understand what kinds of incidents occur.
