The crime rate has increased in the Greenville area of Jersey City. At one point, there was 10 shootings in a single week. My block is very quiet so there is no need for police, and I'm sure that if I needed them, they would come. However, I am concerned about the element of police brutality against minorities in the city. Although I am not an ethnic minority, and Jersey City is extremely diverse, these things do happen often.

Basically a quiet neighborhood bra cause it's a dead end street. Not sure I would choose to live here again. As far as ranking that's hard because we are in a very city like setting with a big population. A very urban area. We live close by a city college and they are building up the college with new dormitories down the street. So not sure if this will benefit our neighborhood or not
