Gentrification is exactly the reason.
I read somewhere that of the worst 100 streets to live in NYC in 1990, 97 now have property values exceeding $1,500/sf.
That kind of increase in property value will forces the poors out...which drives crime down.
1990-2000 Socioeconomic Census Data for NYC
2016 US Census Estimates for NYC
The poverty rate in New York City was just below 20% in the 1990 census, and it was estimated at 20.6% in 2016. Median household income has increased from $38,909 in 1990 to $53,373 for the five year estimate from 2011-2015. Then again cost of living has increased as well.
In other words, I don't think the poor have been displaced, at least not to the extent you're arguing.
