Philadelphia’s 158 neighborhoods as mapped by the city. Population from the 2020 Census blocks inside each neighborhood, scaled to the city’s current total. Parks, industrial areas and places with fewer than 2,500 residents are drawn but not rated. Small areas swing more from month to month, so rates use the last 12 months.

About these categories
Homicide, robbery, burglary, theft and vehicle theft come from the same reports Philadelphia Police Department sends the FBI. Theft from vehicles is NIBRS codes 23F and 23G (items and parts taken from a vehicle) and theft is the rest of larceny. Robbery is part of violent crime and the others of property crime; assault and rape count in violent crime but are not listed separately, so the rows do not add up to the totals. Red means more than before, green means fewer. “Not yet” means the site does not have that month from a year earlier.
Against other places of 100,000+ residents: vehicle theft (3rd highest rate of 155), robbery (5th highest rate of 152) and burglary (55th highest rate of 168).

|---|---|---|---|
| RobberyTaking property by force or threat | 3,341 | 214 | −14% |
| BurglaryEntering a home or business to steal | 4,389 | 281 | −7% |

What these numbers leave out: most crime never reaches the police. In the federal victim survey (BJS, 2024), about half of violent crimes and less than a third of property crimes were reported, and only a quarter of everyday thefts. Rates are per resident, which overstates them where far more people work than live: Washington Square West, Logan Square, Old City and Rittenhouse in Philadelphia.
