The 0–100 scale is calibrated to Philadelphia — a typical Philadelphia neighborhood sits near 54. It ranks Pennsport against other neighborhoods here, and cannot be read against a score in another city.
Most of what's reported here is property-related — other theft alone is 45% of reports — rather than violence against strangers, though the full mix below is worth a look.
Reported incidents here skew to daytime and evening hours — only about 9% of severity-weighted reports fall overnight (midnight–6 a.m.).

How is the Pennsport safety index calculated?
SafeRoute weights each incident reported to the Philadelphia Police Department by severity (violence weighs more than shoplifting), sums the last available period within 1 km of the neighborhood center, and normalizes against citywide crime rates onto a 0–100 scale — higher is safer. It describes reported crime only; it is not a guarantee of safety. The scale is calibrated within Philadelphia, so scores compare neighborhoods to each other and cannot be read against another city's.
