Crime in Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s Queens and Bronx district has skyrocketed since she took office in 2019, according to an analysis of NYPD data reviewed by the New York Post.
Major crimes, which consist of murder, rape, robbery, felony assault, burglary, grand larceny, and auto theft, rose by 70% in the 14th district from 2019-2024. In some precincts, like the 110th in Queens, the increase is even higher at 105% since AOC took office.
Comparatively, crime in New York City overall rose by 30%.
“She’s not doing s–t. She doesn’t live in the neighborhood, she doesn’t care,” Elmhurst resident Guadelupe Alvarez, a former AOC supporter who has lived in the 110th Precinct her whole life, told the Post.
“I can’t wait to get – pardon my language – the f–k out of here. It makes me so sad that they’ve done that to push me out of my neighborhood. And I’m not the only one. . . . I could never have a family here.”
AOC has not returned the Post’s request for a comment.
