The typical home here is $152K — about 0.7× the citywide median home, and above the ZIP 19133 median of $106K. The same block, read against everyone else in the ZIP 19133 and across Philadelphia.
| This block | ZIP 19133 | Philadelphia | |
|---|---|---|---|

| Owner-occupied | 25% | 31% | 48% |
Safety & quality of life
Within 200 metres of the block over the last 12 months: 91 reported crimes (about 8 a month, 25% of them violent) and 237 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.
