Greenwich Village has a below average violent crime rate and an average property crime rate for New York City.

The bulk of New York University's campus is within this neighborhood's boundaries, so there is also a large student population.
Greenwich Village is bordered on the north by Chelsea and Union Square, on the east by NoHo, on the south by SoHo, and on the west by the West Village.
