By the Numbers
Assessment change through 2026
Median assessed-home-value change through the billed-year roll. Tax deltas use the same endpoint and each year’s taxable-assessment median; exemptions can make the tax path differ from the full assessed-value path.
The makeup of the block
Every home, plotted by size and assessed value — press play and watch the block reprice from 2016 to 2027. One bubble per house (area = lot size), colored by who owns it; a gold ring marks a material assessment exemption whose legal basis is not established by the roll. Click a bubble for its report.

Safety & quality of life
Within 200 metres of the block over the last 12 months: 116 police incident reports, about 10 a month, and 192 resident 311 requests to the city. These are raw nearby counts, not population-adjusted rates. A busy commercial corridor can record more activity than a residential block.

Assessment trend
The median home assessment on this block has beaten Philadelphia's residential assessment trend, changing +7.7% a year against the city's 6.5%.
Indexed assessment change · this block vs. Philadelphia residential assessments
Rebased to 100 in 2016, like a stock against its index. $100 in the typical home here would be worth $223 today versus $201 across Philadelphia — this block outpaced the market.
This compares City assessments, not sale prices or investment returns. Reassessment years are lumpy, and construction, demolition, subdivision, or classification changes can move a block median.
How often it changes hands
The fetched deed history contains 15 non-nominal recorded transfers for homes on this block since 1996. The median home has 0 such transfers in that window, while 9 have none. Consideration above $100 is not proof of an arm's-length market sale.
