Safety & quality of life

Within 200 metres of the block over the last 12 months: 70 reported crimes (about 6 a month, 40% of them violent) and 85 resident 311 requests to the city. A busy commercial corridor logs far more than a quiet residential block, so read this against nearby blocks, not the citywide total.

Where this comes from

Methodology & freshness

This report was assembled Jul 10, 2026, 3:04 AM ET. Available City datasets are queried from OpenDataPhilly (phl.carto.com) and the cited City ArcGIS feeds; record queries paginate rather than silently taking a first page. “Unavailable” means the source query failed or was not supplied, not “no record.” Reports re-pull on view after seven days and on an overnight rolling schedule; citywide benchmarks recompute weekly. Source dates still govern: the parcel-level tax-delinquency snapshot is June 2022 and the separate detailed tax ledger ends in 2016, so neither establishes today’s balance. The live balance and date-effective payoff must be verified in Tax Center. AI-written passages are grounded in the assembled record and rejected if they state a number the record does not hold.
