NYPD counted 33 confirmed hate crime incidents in New York City in July, and 23 of them targeted Jews [1]. That works out to 69.7 percent, which is where the department's 70 percent framing comes from. The rounding is fair; the underlying fraction is small enough that a single reclassified incident would move it by about three points, which is worth remembering before anyone builds a trend on one month.
NYPD puts July's anti-Jewish count 53 percent above July 2025 [1]. Working backward from 23 incidents, that implies a July 2025 figure of about 15. The source does not state the 2025 July count directly, so the base of that particular percentage is not in the record we fetched, and it is the one headline number here that cannot be checked against a published denominator.
The year to date figures can be checked, and they hold. NYPD counts 205 anti-Jewish hate crimes against 189 in the same period of 2025 [1]. The difference is 16 incidents, and 16 divided by 189 is 8.47 percent, which rounds to the 8.5 percent the department reports. Citywide, all hate crimes stand at 360 against 329 [1], a difference of 31, and 31 divided by 329 is 9.42 percent, matching the reported 9.4 percent. The share figure reconciles as well: 205 of 360 is 56.9 percent, which is the 57 percent NYPD gives for the anti-Jewish share of all city hate crimes this year [1]. Against a population NYPD puts at roughly 10 percent Jewish [1], that share is the sentence most people will take away, and it survives recomputation.
There is a second NYPD percentage in circulation that looks like it disagrees with the first. Earlier in the year the department put Jews at 55 percent of all New York City hate crimes for the first half of the year [1]. That is a different measurement window, not a competing estimate of the same one. The 57 percent figure covers the year to date, which now includes July, and a month in which the anti-Jewish share ran at 69.7 percent is exactly the kind of month that pulls a cumulative share up from 55. The two numbers are consistent in direction. Treating them as a contradiction, or averaging them, would be an error in both directions.
Mayor Mamdani addressed the figures: "The work to uproot antisemitism out of this city is one that will continue until we see hate crimes come to an end in the city" [1].
Every number above is NYPD's, and every one of them counts confirmed incidents, which is a specific administrative category and not the same thing as reports received, arrests made or cases charged. The department's totals rose on both measures this year, anti-Jewish incidents by 16 and citywide incidents by 31. Those are the two numbers that will be worth watching in August, because a July at 23 incidents is either the shape of the year or the reason the year's shape changes.
