If you live in Roxborough/Manayunk, the Navy Yard, Somerton, or underneath the Platt Memorial Bridge, I wish you all a good long life.

Grad Hospital, Fitler Square, Spring Garden, and Franklintown had no shootings, residential Rittenhouse had just one (road rage incident if that matters). Logan Square had zero until the affair-related hotel room shooting on Christmas which doesn’t impact neighborhood neighborhood safety. East Passyunk is good too.

One Saturday sometime in May or June, I was walking with my girlfriend on East Passyunk, and heard a shoot out very close by. It was like 1 pm, and there were a ton of people on the street that heard it as well. I never saw anything about it on the citizen app or the news, and when I asked on here, it was taking down fairly quickly. A couple people PM'd me to say they heard it as well before it was taken down. I'm assuming this list is missing a bunch of stuff like that.

It only tracks injuries and deaths, there were at least 2 shootings by house this year when I was home. Like close enough I could see the running and smoke. Neither are on the map, probably because there were no deaths/injuries.

If it was gunfire, I guess there were just no victims? But, I just meant that it’s good in this regard. Hell, there were multiple shootings in Times Square last year with random victims and I still consider it safe. I also consider Center City quite safe, regardless of a handful of incidents.

i live in manayunk.. the people in the rnr group love to bitch about how this neighborhood is going to shit and blah blah blah... with the amount of shootings here you can count on one hand... vs anywhere else in the city.. esp NE/South Philly/Kensington .. it's still pretty calm here. these boomers have no idea what it's like outside of here.

sure it gets a little dicey around ridge/walnut & Henry/walnut and at some of the apartments, but nothing compares to elsewhere. Pre Pandemic I used to live in Grays Ferry between 28th & 29th and between Tasker and Dickinson... that was.... something. A shooting pretty much daily. The final straw was when i got home from work and i heard multiple shots from a semi automatic a block away as i just got out of my car. I couldn't do it anymore. These people would not survive down there

there are so many boomers who moved to Florida but still stalk the RNR page, literally saying Roxborough is the new Kensington, how its not like the 70s anymore and its all Kranser's fault. They are screaming for Rox high to be shut down as if those high schoolers from Germantown are of less value than kids from Rox or Manayunk.

We’re also in Manayunk. Family of 4 +dog. Working professional adults and middle schooler and elementary baby. Aside from the terrible grocery store options, it’s not terrible place and we’re out and about daily.

i don't mind it here. i walk my dog daily and never have any issues. there's crime and such all over.. just don't be dumb. the grocery stores do suck here though. i pretty much always drive to Wegmans or giant in the metroplex.

Roxborough/Manayunk is generally safe by city standards but note - the Rox HS shooting victims are not included on this map.
