The verdict
Old Westbury Village earns an A+ safety grade: violent crime runs 94% below the U.S. average, placing it among the safest cities in the country.
Based on 1 reported violent incidents in a population of 5,033. At this volume, one additional or one fewer report can shift the rate and letter grade noticeably; small-city crime counts are inherently more volatile year to year than large-city counts, so treat this grade as a data point, not a precise ranking.
Small-count caution
Old Westbury Village reported 1 violent offences in 2024 against a population of 5,033. At this volume one additional or one fewer report moves the per-100,000 rate noticeably, so the figure is better read as a data point than as a precise measurement, and year-to-year swings here are expected.
Property-offense composition
Larceny-theft is 38.1% of reported property offenses in Old Westbury Village, against a cohort median of 86.4%. The remainder is burglary (7) and motor vehicle theft (6). Composition differences of this size usually track what kinds of places and property are present in a jurisdiction.
Comparable rate records
The nearest comparable 2024 records to Old Westbury Village's 19.9 violent-crime rate per 100,000 are Elmsford Village (19.8), Eastchester Town (20.1), Rye Brook Village (20.6), Rosendale Town (17.7). These are same-year agency submissions that pass the same completeness screen, not a claim that the cities have identical conditions. They make the cohort position above checkable against named records instead of a generic state average.
Position in the state cohort
At 19.9 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Old Westbury Village ranks 227 of 326 — above 99 of the 325 other New York cities whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test.

Property counts dominate Old Westbury Village's FBI UCR Table 8 municipal row. Per-100,000 rates use the reporting-year population on that row; cities that fail the completeness test stay out of rate rankings.
