A little history

Frankford in Philadelphia. Philadelphia is the most populous city in Pennsylvania and is known for its culture, cuisine, and history. Frankford is a neighborhood in the Northeast section of the city, about six miles northeast of Center City. Its borders are loosely defined, running roughly from the original course of Frankford Creek on the south to Cheltenham Avenue on the north, and east to Aramingo Avenue and I-95. Neighbors include Bridesburg, Northwood, Summerdale, and Wissinoming.

Notable neighborhoods in Philadelphia's Frankford district include:

Wissinoming and Juniata Park. Wissinoming, in the Near Northeast section, was the site of locomotive builder Matthias Baldwin's estate, also named "Wissinoming," near Tacony and Van Kirk Streets. Frankford lies to its southwest. Juniata Park is in North Philadelphia, south of the Juniata Golf Club in Tacony Creek Park. It is bordered to the east by Frankford.

Oxford Circle and Mayfair. Oxford Circle, in the lower Northeast section, takes its name from the much-used traffic circle at Roosevelt Boulevard and Oxford Avenue. The neighborhood has no fixed boundaries. Mayfair, also in lower Northeast Philadelphia, is centered on the intersection of Cottman and Frankford Avenues, with Pennypack Park to its north.

Reported Safety Incidents

In Q2 2026: property incidents were 37% (4,446), violent incidents were 27% (3,250), vehicle crimes were 14% (1,677) and public order incidents were 8% (923).

Recorded crime here is grouped into violent crime, property crime (burglary and theft), vehicle crime and public order offences, so you can compare how safe each neighborhood is for the kind of crime that matters to you.

Read category comparisons with care. A category that jumps while the total hardly moves looks like a change in how offences are classified, not in what happened: Q1 2024: vehicle down 34% while the total moved 7%. The whole-area rate is the steadier guide.

Places we left out, and places to read with care

No place is left out: every neighborhood in this race has residents to count.

Crescentville (202.1 per 1,000 from 98 crimes among 485 residents) and McGuire (57.9 per 1,000 from 143 crimes among 2,469 residents) are places with few residents (under 3,000): a rate on so few people says little about living there, so they are not named as the lowest or highest.
