Creator: CrimesLog

30 neighborhoods - a quarterly race to the lowest crime rate.

Crime Trends: Neighborhoods compared - each quarter from Q1 2022

Philadelphia as a whole averaged 25.7 crimes for every 1,000 residents per quarter in Q2 2026, while West averaged 22.5 (leaving out 2 places with almost no residents), hence it is generally safer when all crimes are considered.

How do the 30 neighborhoods of West compare? In Q2 2026 the police recorded 6,540 crimes across them, 22.5 for every 1,000 residents. That is 5.1% below a year earlier and 5.5% above Q1 2022, the first quarter we track.

Roxborough has the lowest rate of the everyday neighborhoods (9.0 per 1,000), followed by Upper Roxborough (10.1) and Fairmount (11.4). Tioga has the highest (48.9).

Use the RACE CHARTS below to watch all 30 PHILADELPHIA WEST NEIGHBORHOODs race across 18 quarter periods from Q1 2022 to Q2 2026 - one crime category at a time or all together. The race chart can be used to compare average crime rates by category against Philadelphia's average.

A little history

Philadelphia, colloquially called Philly, is the most populous city in Pennsylvania and is known for its culture, cuisine, and history. West Philadelphia is a section of the city that includes the neighborhoods of Overbrook, Haddington, and Wynnefield. Wynnefield is bounded by Fairmount Park to the east and City Avenue to the north.

Notable neighborhoods in Philadelphia West include:

Overbrook and Haddington. Overbrook is a historic neighborhood of Philadelphia, situated in the northwest of West Philadelphia. Haddington also lies in the West Philadelphia section. Its borders run from Haverford Avenue and Girard Avenue on the north to Market Street on the south.

Brewerytown and Strawberry Mansion. Brewerytown, in the North Philadelphia section, takes its name from the numerous breweries that stood along the Schuylkill River during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. It is now primarily residential, with a commercial sector along Girard Avenue. Strawberry Mansion, east of Fairmount Park in North Philadelphia, is generally thought to take its name from the nearby historic house, Historic Strawberry Mansion.

Whole-area crime rate 18.6 to 22.5 per 1,000 (high: Q2 2026). 2 quarters so far.

Big moves (4+ places in a quarter): moved up Chestnut Hill 9th→4th (Q1) Manayunk 14th→8th (Q1) Blue Bell Hill 23rd→9th (Q1) moved down East Falls 5th→11th (Q1) Overbrook 10th→14th (Q1) Carroll Park 15th→22nd (Q1) Wissahickon Park 21st→25th (Q1) Chestnut Hill 4th→11th (Q2) Spring Garden 19th→13th (Q2) Blue Bell Hill 9th→15th (Q2) Wissahickon Park 25th→29th (Q2)

Reported Safety Incidents

In Q2 2026: property incidents were 40% (2,602), violent incidents were 34% (2,252), vehicle crimes were 17% (1,101) and public order incidents were 1% (44).

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: Q3 2022: vehicle up 27% while the total moved 4%. The whole-area rate is the steadier guide.

Places we left out, and places to read with care

Left out: East Park; West Park. They have almost no residents: their crimes are against visitors, so a rate per resident says little about living there.

Wissahickon Park (71.0 per 1,000 from 27 crimes among 380 residents), Blue Bell Hill (18.1 per 1,000 from 10 crimes among 551 residents), West Parkside (171.0 per 1,000 from 146 crimes among 854 residents), Wissahickon Hills (8.4 per 1,000 from 9 crimes among 1,071 residents), Roxborough Park (21.8 per 1,000 from 29 crimes among 1,331 residents), Germany Hill (8.9 per 1,000 from 18 crimes among 2,019 residents), Dearnley Park (3.2 per 1,000 from 7 crimes among 2,215 residents) and Andorra (11.8 per 1,000 from 29 crimes among 2,456 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.
