Third, this data point is in a vacuum. What are you comparing it to? Are you comparing it to other cities?

Therefore, since you really had no argument, no one can counter the lack of a point.
haha you guys are so full of **** it's unbelievable. First people say Center City is immune to violent crime. Now this. And not all robberies are violent crime? haha oh really? How's it work? "Ma'am, may I please have your purse?"

CC has a few zip codes. 19103 and 19107 are only two, and there was almost a reported robbery per day b/w them. 316 would be too many if it encompassed all of CC, much less just a portion of it. The number of restaurant workers I know who've been robbed is astronomical, but 316 in just those two zip codes is actually more than I thought.

CC is a very small area. For that many robberies to be taking place in just two portions of it is ridiculous. A city does not have to be Fallujah to be considered dangerous. Fact is, PB'ers are so embarassed about Philly's reputation as a city full of psycho's w/ guns that they pretend that rep is w/out merit.
