New York Jewish Week — Jews were the target of the majority of hate crimes in New York City last year, according to statistics reported by the NYPD.
Data compiled by the department showed that there were 345 anti-Jewish hate crimes across the US city in 2024, nearly 54% of the 641 total hate crimes tallied. The next-largest category of hate crimes were those related to sexual orientation, at 78.
The number of antisemitic hate crimes in 2024 was slightly larger than in 2023, when police recorded 323 total anti-Jewish crimes. That year’s total was driven by a recorded surge in antisemitism following Hamas’s invasion and onslaught of October 7 of that year, which sparked the war in Gaza. The increase in antisemitism year over year comes as the total number of hate crimes in the city decreased slightly from 2023 to 2024.
High-profile antisemitic incidents occurred last year across New York, which has the largest Jewish population in the United States.
The NYPD data are preliminary figures and are subject to change. Not every recorded hate crime leads to an arrest or prosecution.
