Staten Island neighborhoods on DwellCheck (22)

Alphabetical, not ranked. Crime rate per resident is shown only for the 14 neighborhoods with a published safety page. The livability composite column has no crime term in it — the best-neighborhoods ranking blends it with the crime rate and orders neighborhoods by the result.

Livability composites from DwellCheck’s published neighborhood guides, built from NYC Open Data. Crime rate per resident: NYPD complaints over the 12 months ending June 30, 2026, divided by the 2020 Census population of the neighborhood’s NTAs. Method: DwellCheck methodology.

Every residential neighborhood the city defines in Staten Island (16)

These are the city’s own 2020 Neighborhood Tabulation Areas, the boundaries NYC uses for census and planning data. Names are the city’s, which is why several colloquial neighborhoods appear merged into one hyphenated name. Every row has measured crime and noise numbers whether or not DwellCheck has a page for it.

Crime: NYPD Complaint Data via NYC Open Data, 5uac-w243 and qgea-i56i, 12 months ending June 30, 2026, mean count within 300 m of 100 sampled points. Noise: 311 Service Requests, erm2-nwe9, 6 months ending September 13, 2026, median count within 100 m of the same points.

How these numbers are measured

Neighborhood boundaries. The city’s residential 2020 Neighborhood Tabulation Areas. Parks, airports and cemeteries are separate non-residential NTAs and are not listed.

Crime and noise. 100 seeded random points are placed inside each NTA boundary; NYPD complaints are counted within 300 meters of each point over the 12 months ending June 30, 2026, and 311 noise complaints within 100 meters over the 6 months ending September 13, 2026. The tables show the mean complaint count and the median noise count across those points.

What is not here. No rent or sale prices — DwellCheck holds no neighborhood rent-level data, so this page does not claim any. No school ratings and no demographics.

Frequently asked questions

1

How many neighborhoods are in Staten Island?

There is no single official count, because "neighborhood" is a colloquial term. The city's own planning unit is the Neighborhood Tabulation Area (NTA), and Staten Island has 16 residential NTAs in the 2020 boundaries — the list in the second table on this page. DwellCheck publishes a page for 22 named Staten Island neighborhoods, some of which sit inside a larger NTA and some of which span more than one.

2

Which Staten Island neighborhoods have DwellCheck data?

22 Staten Island neighborhoods have a DwellCheck page. 15 of them carry a published livability composite, and 14 have a full safety page with NYPD crime, shooting and arrest counts. Every residential NTA in the borough has computed crime and noise numbers, shown in the second table, whether or not a neighborhood page covers it.

3

What do the numbers in these tables mean?

The livability composite is DwellCheck's 0-10 score built from NYC Open Data (building violations, subway access, trees and noise, park proximity). "Complaints per 1,000 residents" is NYPD complaints inside the neighborhood over 12 months divided by its 2020 Census population. "Complaints per 300m" is the mean NYPD complaint count within 300 meters of 100 sampled points inside the NTA. "Noise median" is the median 311 noise complaint count within 100 meters of those points.

4

Why do some neighborhoods in the second table have no link?

2 of Staten Island's 16 residential NTAs have no DwellCheck neighborhood page yet. Their crime and noise numbers are still computed and shown here; there is simply no deeper page to link to. The city's NTA names also merge several colloquial neighborhoods into one unit, so a name you are looking for may appear as part of a longer hyphenated NTA name.

5

Where should I start if I'm choosing a Staten Island neighborhood?

Pick the dimension that actually decides it for you, then use the ranked page for that dimension: the Staten Island safest-neighborhoods page for NYPD crime data, the quietest-neighborhoods page for 311 noise, and the best-neighborhoods page for the Livability & Safety score, which blends two thirds of the livability composite with one third of the neighborhood's NYPD crime rate per resident and prints both components. This index is alphabetical, not a ranking. Then check the specific address, because every number on this page is a neighborhood average and buildings inside one neighborhood differ a lot.
