By the Numbers
How fast it's moving
Assessed-value change for the typical home. Philadelphia taxes a flat 1.3998% of value, so the bill moves with it.
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: 72 reported crimes (about 6 a month, 26% of them violent) and 101 resident 311 requests to the city. A busy commercial corridor logs far more than a quiet residential block, so read this against nearby blocks, not the citywide total.
Most reported crimes
Top 311 complaints
Philadelphia Police incident reports and 311 service requests within 200m, trailing 12 months. Reported location, not necessarily where an incident occurred.

Assessment trend
The median home assessment on this block has lagged Philadelphia's residential assessment trend, changing +5.6% a year against the city's 6.5%.
Indexed performance · this block vs. the Philadelphia market
Rebased to 100 in 2016, like a stock against its index. $100 in the typical home here would be worth $166 today versus $201 across Philadelphia — this block trailed 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.
