Philadelphia Neighborhood Comparisons

How We Compare Neighborhoods

StreetSmart's neighborhood comparisons use real data from over 500,000 Philadelphia buildings to help you make informed decisions. Unlike other sites that rely on subjective opinions, we analyze:

• Average Building Score: Overall quality based on violations, complaints, and maintenance
• Violation Rates: How many buildings have open L&I violations
• 311 Complaints: Community complaints showing quality of life issues
• Building Age: Historic vs newer construction mix
• Pest Issues: Rodent and pest violation rates

Each comparison includes links to the best-rated buildings in both neighborhoods, so you can start your apartment search with confidence.
