In 2024 about half of violent crimes (48%) and about 3 in 10 property crimes (31%) were reported to police (U.S. Justice Department, National Crime Victimization Survey). Rates also depend on how completely each agency reports to the FBI. City figures are the New York City Police Department's own reports.

4 Superfund sites are on or proposed for EPA's National Priorities List in New York: Wolff-Alport Chemical Company, Meeker Avenue Plume, Gowanus Canal and Newtown Creek. 1 other site has finished cleanup and been taken off the list.

The two tallest are Silver Lake Reservoir Dam (65 ft) and Jerome Park Reservoir Dam (42 ft). “High hazard” describes what lies downstream (people would probably die if the dam failed), not how likely the dam is to fail.
FEMA's National Risk Index rates the overall natural-hazard risk for Queens County as “Relatively High”. Of the seven hazards on our map, FEMA rates these highest: river flooding (Very High), heat waves (Very High), coastal flooding (Very High) and tornadoes (Relatively High).
