About these numbers

This comes from dog licence records, not from a count of all dogs. The New York City health department estimates that around 80% of the city’s dogs are unlicensed, so these figures describe licensed dogs only. Rates are shown per 10,000 licensed dogs so that neighbourhoods and years can be compared fairly, but a neighbourhood where fewer people license their dogs may still be represented differently from one where more people do. Records are as supplied by the city and are not corrected for owner error.
