This Interactive NYC Crime Map Lets You Visualize All City Crime Per Precinct

2022-06-07T16:00:00-04:00

The NYC Crime Map is an interactive map produced by the City which lets you play with crime data per precinct.

Crime data is provided in map format for the, “seven major NYS Penal Law felonies” (Murder and Non-Negligent Manslaughter, Rape, Robbery, Felonious Assault, Burglary, Grand Larceny and Grand Larceny Motor Vehicle. Attempted crimes are recorded as that crime with the exception of Attempted Murder which is recorded as a Felonious Assault.) A crime map can be presented cumulatively year to date, previous year cumulative and by any specific month in either period. The opening and default map views are of the most recent full month count of all seven major crimes.

The map is updated frequently, but runs about 2 months behind the current date as police reports are collected, filed and digitized pretty slowly. How safe is your neighborhood?

[REPOST] This Cool Map Shows the Hourly Volume of Taxi Pickups in New York City

2020-10-16T16:00:00-04:00

This interesting interactive data visualization from Max Galka of Metrocosm (previously) maps out the hourly volume of taxi pickups across New York City during an average weekday.

The map reveals some surprising patterns. What I expected to see was a spike of morning commuters picking up taxis in Brooklyn and Queens bound for Manhattan, and another late afternoon spike in Manhattan as the same commuters pick up taxis to get back home. Apparently, I underestimated the City’s public transportation and it’s weekday nightlife, since the highest volume of taxi pickups in Brooklyn/Queens occurs at around 10pm.

Check out the accompanying article for more analysis on the data.

[MAPS] New York City Coronavirus Deaths By Zip Code

The below map and table provide confirmed case rates, case counts, death rates, death counts, and the percent of people tested with a positive result.

The number of reported confirmed cases per ZIP code may be affected by that area’s population size, access to health care and access to testing. For example, an area with a low total case number but a high percent of positive cases could reflect more people with mild symptoms not getting tested.

2020-04-22T16:00:00-04:00

Redditor AnotherJeremy2 recently created this great map showing the most common restaurant cuisine by New York City zip code. We love our Chinese and East Asian food!

Data are from restaurant inspections by the NYC Department of Health and Mental Hygiene and include all restaurants with a currently active status. Using R, I counted the number of restaurants by cuisine type in each zip code and determined the cuisine with the largest share. I excluded American cuisine restaurants as well as bakeries, cafes and similar. There are about 27 thousand restaurants in total comprising the data shown in the 263 zipcodes.
