Violent Crimes

What does this measure?

This indicator shows the number of reported serious violent crimes per 10,000 residents. Murder, rape, robbery, and aggravated assault are included in the serious violent crimes measure.

Why is this important?

Crime affects the quality of life of those who directly experience and witness it, but it also impacts the lives of others within the community, housing stability, and a community's attractiveness as a place to live, work and do business.

How is our region performing?

The Mid-Hudson Valley region had 14 violent crimes per 10,000 residents in 2024, less than the state (excluding NYC) rate of 19 per 10,000. The overall rate in the region has declined 36% since 2010. Dutchess and Sullivan (both at 17) had the highest rates in the region. Greene County, which had the highest rate in 2022, made a notable improvement, dropping from 47 to 13 violent crimes per 10,000 residents. All counties, experienced a rate decrease since 2010.

The cities of Poughkeepsie and Newburgh had the highest rates of violent crime in the region, at 73 and 98 per 10,000 residents, respectively, in 2024.

Notes about the data

Crime reports are never complete because some crimes, such as rape and assault, are believed to be underreported.
