LOW
Real Estate (local property values)

Minimal direct consumer impact. Potential indirect effects include reduced tourism to Philadelphia attractions near crime scene, possible decline in nearby property values, and increased demand for home security services in affected neighborhoods.
May prompt increased law enforcement funding requests, enhanced background check procedures for firearm purchases, and stricter regulations on chemical sales. Could influence local zoning or property inspection policies.
