Pretty accurate.
You ask a vague question, you get a vague answer.
A commonly cited figure for the accuracy of DNA tests is 99.5% or higher. That is, if you take a DNA sample from one person and test another person for a match, the odds are one in two hundred that you'll get a positive result.
This is pretty good if you're using it to confirm that a person who's a suspect for other reasons is the source of the DNA. It's totally worthless if you take the "shotgun" approach and test a whole bunch of people, because 99.5% accuracy means that 41,635 or so New Yorkers will give a positive result, and it's going to be a false positive for at least 41,634 of them.
