MANHATTAN — Washington Heights and Inwood are far safer places to live in Manhattan than Greenwich Village and the Meatpacking District, according to a new report by DNAinfo.com that examines crime and safety in the city’s neighborhoods.

Dramatic drops in crime across the board in Washington Heights and Inwood gave those neighborhoods a boost.
