Safety & quality of life

Within 200 metres of the block over the last 12 months: 152 reported crimes (about 13 a month, 23% of them violent) and 432 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.

Philadelphia Police incident reports and 311 service requests within 200m, trailing 12 months. Reported location, not necessarily where an incident occurred.
