Rent since 2014
ACS 5-year median gross rent for Philadelphia city. Up 53% since 2014. Graduate Hospital is 57% above the 2024 city median.
Overlapping 5-year ACS windows (B25064), not asking rent. Census does not publish a rent series for each official neighborhood, so the line is the city place. The dashed mark is this area’s ACS 2024 median.
HUD treats 30% of income as the cost-burden line. We do not split ACS rent into 1-bed vs 2-bed. Method.

Crime is PPD Part I reports per 1,000 ACS residents — not a judgment of who lives here. Home and rent figures are ACS medians, not live MLS. Read the method.
On the ground
What it is like to live here, beyond the scores.
South of South Street, west of Broad. Newer than Bella Vista, tighter than Point Breeze. The hospital name is leftover. The product is brick and a walk to Center City. People still search G-Ho.
Weight walk. Rittenhouse is the square north. Point Breeze is the next rectangle south and cheaper. Bella Vista is the market east of Broad. University City is the other side of the river if the job is Penn.
