Title: The Impact of Foreclosures on Neighborhood Crime in New York
Summary: This report examines the impact of foreclosures on neighborhood crime in four New York counties: three with exceptionally high foreclosure rates, and one with a more moderate rate. Queens, Brooklyn, and Nassau Counties have seen some of the highest rates of foreclosure in the State -- Queens Supreme Court schedules roughly 100 foreclosure auctions every week. Albany County has seen a more moderate level of foreclosures, with a large spike in the summer of 2008. In summary, as crime was on a general decline in New York State, neighborhoods with the highest rates of foreclosure commonly saw increases in crime over the past two years. The resulting impact in all four counties was a growing crime disparity between high and low-foreclosure neighborhoods.
