WalletHub Study Ranks Philadelphia Fifth-Least-Safe U.S. City
A recent WalletHub study has ranked Philadelphia as the 5th least safe city in the United States.

Philadelphia, PA, October 28, 2026 —
A recent WalletHub study ranked Philadelphia as the fifth-least-safe city in the United States, according to the information provided about the study. The summary does not identify the study’s publication date or explain how WalletHub assessed safety.
No details were provided about the cities included in the comparison, the factors used to determine the rankings, or the data behind Philadelphia’s placement. The information also does not specify how far the city was from other places in the ranking.
Without those details, the ranking alone does not show which aspects of safety were considered or how the results relate to particular neighborhoods or conditions within Philadelphia. It also does not establish whether the ranking reflects a change over time, because no earlier results or comparison period were provided.
The finding is attributed to WalletHub’s study, but the information available here does not include a statement from the organization or local officials. It also provides no figures, methodology, or additional findings that would give further context to the result.
Accordingly, the reported takeaway is limited to Philadelphia’s position: fifth among the least-safe cities in the United States in the recent WalletHub study. The study’s date, underlying measures, and supporting data were not included in the summary.
