Neighborhood safety · Philadelphia · data through August 2026

How safe is your Philadelphia neighborhood?

SafeRoute scores every Philadelphia neighborhood 0–100 from incidents reported to the Philadelphia Police Department — severity-weighted, within 1 km of each area's center, normalized citywide. Higher is safer. The same data powers the SafeRoute app's crime-aware walking routes.

These figures describe reported crime around each neighborhood's center — they are informational, not a judgment of any community. Note: the Philadelphia Police publish incident locations at block level for privacy, so dots mark blocks, not addresses. Citywide median index: 55/100.

Methodology

Each incident reported to the Philadelphia Police Department (via OpenDataPhilly) is weighted by severity — violence counts for more than shoplifting. For every neighborhood we sum weighted incidents within 1 km of its center, and normalize against citywide crime rates onto a 0–100 index, higher = safer. Boundaries are the 158 neighborhoods the city publishes, grouped by the 18 Planning Districts the City Planning Commission uses; six are not scored because nobody lives in them — both halves of Fairmount Park, Wissahickon and Pennypack Parks, and the two airports — where near-zero reported crime would read as falsely "safe" rather than as empty land. Time-of-day charts use PPD dispatch timestamps, severity-weighted. Locations are published at block level for privacy. Pages regenerate as new data is published.

The index compares areas within Philadelphia. It is not comparable between cities: each police force publishes a different set of offences over a different period — Philadelphia's figures cannot be read against another city's on the same 0–100 scale.
