Reply to comment by randym99 in Moving Mondays - New Resident Questions by AutoModerator

Thanks so much for posting that link. I've been trying to parse neighborhood crime information and never came across this map. A similar map was absolutely vital for us when we were figuring out where to buy back when we still lived in New Orleans, so this is hugely helpful! <3

Glad to help. In a comment just below I also linked the PPD crime map that has other crime categories.

Oh and if you're moving to Philly and might vote in the Mayoral election next Nov, I'll plug that this map was created by the city's Office of the Controller under former Controller Rebecca Rhynhart, who resigned in order to run for Mayor. This is just one example of her work in office that makes me want to vote for her.

Excellent to know - thank you! I'll absolutely be digging into candidates.

We'd moved up to Boston a few years ago for my spouse's job, but we'll be priced out entirely once our lease is up in the summer. Loved Philadelphia (felt so much like home in N.O.), though, so it seems like a quick bounce a few hours south. These weekly moving threads are so helpful.
