Reply to comment by yuckyd in Found this setup of flowers in the middle of the street. For Jersey City having a bad reputation, they have some really nice displays all over by FishinDrones

Shooting victims, incidents, and homicides have been on a steady decline in the city for a while now. Out of 283,927 residents, 56 were shot this year and there were 11 homicides. Last year was 86 and 20. That’s not perfect, but it’s also not a place to avoid.

Sure if you stop recording data it is going to look great! From NJ. com. But it’s difficult to assess if crime overall is down in the city because the New Jersey State Police’s Uniform Crime Report has not been updated for 2021 or 2022, and Jersey City no longer publishes monthly or annual crime statistics on its website. The only statistics posted on the city website, on the Police Division page, are the shootings, shooting victims, and homicides.

So, exactly the statistics that he just said are down.

Yeah that’s what I wrote down. But beyond that, we’re talking about it’s reputation. Jersey City has a great reputation.
