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.

Indexed assessment change · this block vs. Philadelphia residential assessments

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.
