Who really pays — each home's tax bill as a share of its value
Philadelphia charges every home the same 1.40% of its assessed value. On this block, 9 of 13 homes pay that full rate — and 4 pay less, because abatements and exemptions shrink the taxed value. Each dot is one home; the further left, the less of its value it pays. Hover a dot for the house.
The block as an asset
Read like a financial asset, this block has beaten the Philadelphia market, compounding +38.6% a year against the city's 6.5%.

Rebased to 100 in 2016, like a stock against its index. $100 in the typical home here would be worth $3640 today versus $201 across Philadelphia — this block outpaced the market.
