Christopher Park in the West Village

The West Village is the western portion of the Greenwich Village neighborhood in the New York City borough of Manhattan. The area is usually defined as bounded by the Hudson River on the west and either Sixth Avenue or Seventh Avenue on the east, extending from 14th Street down to Houston Street. The Far West Village extends from the Hudson River to Hudson Street. Bordering neighborhoods include Chelsea to the north, the South Village, and the newly invented (2009) area called Hudson Square to the south, and Central Village to the east. The neighborhood is primarily residential, with a multitude of small restaurants, shops and services. The area is part of Manhattan Community Board 2 and the Sixth Precinct of the New York Police Department. The Sixth Precinct also covers an area east of the West Village between Sixth Avenue and Broadway from Houston to 14th Street.

History[edit]

Some 18th century streets do not meet modern standards of width.

Known as "Little Bohemia" starting in 1916,[1] West Village is the center of the bohemian lifestyle on the West Side, with classic artist's lofts (Westbeth Artists Community), Julian Schnabel's Palazzo Chupi, and new residential towers designed by American architect Richard Meier facing the Hudson River at 173/176 Perry Street.

The High Line connects the historic district to the art galleries in Chelsea and points north. The elevated train tracks running parallel to Tenth Avenue have been converted to an open greenway. The tracks once served the businesses in the area, but have been long abandoned. Instead of demolishing the structure, the unique features have been used to benefit the entire city.

Geography[edit]

The neighborhood is distinguished by streets that are "off the grid" — set at an angle to the other streets in Manhattan — sometimes confusing both tourists and city residents alike. These roads were laid out in an 18th century grid plan, approximately parallel or perpendicular to the Hudson, long before the Commissioners' Plan of 1811 which created the main street grid plan for later parts of the city. Even streets that were given numbers in the 19th century to make them nominally part of the grid can be idiosyncratic, at best. West 4th Street, formerly Asylum Street, crosses West 10th, 11th and 12th Streets, ending at an intersection with West 13th Street. Heading north on Greenwich Street, West 12th Street is separated by three blocks from Little West 12th Street, which in turn is one block south of West 13th Street.

The Meatpacking District at the north end of this neighborhood, also known as the "Gansevoort Historic District" and MEPA, is filled with trendy boutiques and night clubs.

Beginning in the early 1980s, residential development spread in the Far West Village, between the Hudson River and Hudson Street from West Houston to West 14th Streets.[2]

Daily population[edit]

The approximate residential population in the West Village is 34,000 people based on seven 2010 Census Tracts (67, 69, 71, 73, 75, 77 and 79) for Manhattan Community District 2.[3]

Population characteristics (based on 2010 Census tracts):[4]

  • Fewer kids. 10% of the population in the West Village is less than 20 years old (27% of population of entire US is <20 years old[5])
  • More 20-39 year olds. 45% of the population in the West Village is 20–39 years old (versus 27% in entire US[5])
  • More girls. Females aged 20–39 make up 25% of the population in the West Village (13% of population in entire US[5]) Females aged 20–29 make up 14% of the population in the West Village versus 7% in the entire US. Females in West Village represent 52% of the population versus 51% in all of the US.
  • More foreigners. 80% of the population was born in the US (87% in entire US[6])
  • More money. Average household income by census tract was $180,000 (compared to $51,000 average household income by state for entire US[7])

A NYU study estimates 1,610,000 workers commute to Manhattan during the workweek.[8] The West Village is the final destination for a small portion of these commuters; 0.5% of the total commuter estimate is approximately 8,000 people going to work in the West Village.

A third leg to the daily population estimate is out-of-town visitors - approximately 139,452 domestic and international visitors enter New York City everyday.[9] A portion of these people may visit or stay in the West Village; an average of 11,000 people visit the High Line everyday.[10] With a large portion of these visitors to the High Line using the entrance/exit in the West Village, as well as incorporating visitors to other parts of the West Village, 9% of the total is 13,000 people.

Streets that attract non-residents to the West Village based on restaurants, stores and foot traffic include 14th Street, Bleecker Street, Christopher Street and areas around PATH stations (three in the West Village).

The average daily population in the West Village from these three legs is 55,000 people.

Sixth Precinct crime data[edit]

 This section may contain an excessive amount of intricate detail that may only interest a specific audience. Please help relocate any relevant information, and remove excessive detail that may be against Wikipedia inclusion policy. (May 2013)
  • Year-to-date crime complaints in the Sixth Precinct increased 7.5% year-over-year compared to a -3.5% decrease in citywide crime (as of 12 May 2013).
  • Crime bottomed in the Sixth Precinct in 2011 after declining steadily for many years. Information from the NYPD indicates total crime complaints in the Sixth Precinct increased approximately 7% in 2012.[11]
  • In comparison, citywide crime increased by a smaller amount in 2012, up just 3% versus the 7% increase in the Sixth Precinct.

There were approximately nine crime complaints per day in the NYPC Sixth Precinct (West Village and area east of Sixth Avenue to Broadway between Houston and 14th Streets) year-to-date as of 12 May 2013 according to NYPD crime data.[11] This data does not include information for other types of police activity, such as the number of radio runs, calls about trespassing, grafitti charges or resisting arrest.

Using the residential population of the West Village versus Greenwich Village east of Sixth Avenue as a proxy, approximately half of these daily crimes (4.5 per day) occurred in the West Village.[12] There is no public data that bifurcates the crime statistics for the Sixth Precinct into smaller areas. 86% of the total tabulated crime complaints in the Sixth Precinct related to instances of stealing (robbery, burglary, grand larceny, grand larceny auto, petit larceny) compared to 71% citywide.

Year-to-date crime complaints increased 7.5% year-over-year compared to a -3.5% decrease in citywide crime. Notably, instances of grand larceny (which comprised 38% of total crime statistics in the precinct) increased 28.6% year-over-year as of 12 April 2013.

The Sixth Precinct had a slightly higher crime rate than the rest of the city. Every day one out of 12,000 people called in a crime in the Sixth Precinct compared to one of of 14,000 citywide.[11] These figures use NYPD crime statistics and population data for the Sixth Precinct[12] and for all of New York City.[13]

Crime bottomed in the Sixth Precinct in 2011 after declining steadily for many years. Information from the NYPD indicates total crime complaints in the Sixth Precinct increased approximately 7% in 2012.[11] In comparison, citywide crime increased by a smaller amount in 2012, up just 3% versus the 7% increase in the Sixth Precinct. This tabulation includes all types of crime complaints, from murders to petit larceny. Excluding cases of petit larceny (such as a person stealing a bottle of shampoo from a drug store), crime increased 5% in 2012.

Just including the first seven categories in the weekly NYPD CompStat report, crime in the Sixth Precinct increased 0.4% in 2012 after dropping 3% annually from 2011 to 2011.

Crime examples in West Village[edit]

  • Assaults:[14] Two men outside of Sushi Samba (Seventh Avenue between Barrow and Grove Streets) punched and kicked a man in January 2013.[15] Three men assaulted two other men at 4am on a Saturday morning in March 2013 outside of the Hotel Gansevoort on Ninth Ave. between Little W. 12th and W. 13th Sts.[16][17]
  • Burglary: Thieves stole $127,000 worth of jewelry from a brownstone on West 11th between Greenwich and Washington in summer of 2012.[18]
  • Grand larceny: In February 2013 the NYPD passed out 3,500 fliers to bars and clubs in the Sixth Precinct warning people to guard their valuables, especially at Meatpacking District clubs, due to the rise in grand larceny rates.[19] Police have said these crimes mosty happen in the Meatpacking District from 11 p.m. to 3 a.m.[20] Grand larceny in New York refers to stealing property worth $1,000 or more or property taken from the person of another without the threat of force (robbery), among other definitions.[21] In the summer of 2012, a female went to three clothing stores in the West Village. At each store, she went into the dressing room and cut off the security tags of clothing worth more than $1,000 and then left the store with the clothes without paying.[22] Another example of grand larceny is when a person attempts to take a person's unattended bag from a bar as these belongings usually include debit and credit cards and cell phones.[23][24]
  • Homicide: Around 11:30pm on a Friday night on 17 May 2013 a hispanic man was urinating outside the Annisa restaurant on Barrow Street b/w 7th Avenue and West 4th Street. An employee of Annisa told the person urinating to stop. This person proceeded to lift up his shirt and flash a firearm at the Annisa employee and told him he would kill him if he called 9-1-1.[25][26] The person proceeded out of the West Village to Sixth Avenue, where he eventually was on West Eight Street in Greenwich Village, where he shot and killed a black male after yelling antigay slurs.[27][28] Police apprehended the shooting suspect, Elliot Morales, in the vicinity of West 3rd and Macdougal in Greenwich Village. The murder was the first murder in the Sixth Precinct (covers West Village and Greewich Village) in 2013.
  • Rape: As of the end of March 2013 there have been three rapes in the Sixth Precinct compared to one last year. In one instance, a female accused a 37-year old at Standard Hotel of rape at 4:30 am ET on Friday morning on 2/1/13.[29]
  • Summonses: Police regularly issue summonses at 14th Street and Eight Avenue for aggressive panhandling, alcohol consumption and public urination. Think Coffee on Eight Avenue between 13th and 14th Streets called 911 a dozen times in 24 hours in February 2013 due to violent vagrants.[30]

Non-emergency municipal services (3-1-1)[edit]

 This section may contain an excessive amount of intricate detail that may only interest a specific audience. Please help relocate any relevant information, and remove excessive detail that may be against Wikipedia inclusion policy. (May 2013)

Community Board 2 (CB2) deals with land use and zoning matters, municipal service delivery and community concerns of an area including the West Village. New York City's Community Boards review data collected by the 311 Customer Service Center. 3-1-1 (3-1-1) is a non-emergency telephone number, and New York City releases monthly reports on the number of requests for services to 311.[31]

Even though this 3-1-1 data includes information from areas surrounding the West Village, the monthly 3-1-1 reports serve as a proxy for what people in the West Village are complaining about.

In April 2013 (as of data downloaded on 20 May 2013) there were 77 non-emergency calls per day, up 8% sequentially and down 2% year-over-year.
