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: 135 reported crimes (about 11 a month, 34% of them violent) and 221 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.

Who really pays
Philadelphia's 1.3998% rate applies to the taxable assessment. The OPA roll shows exemptions that can make an estimate lower than the full assessed-value scenario; this chart does not identify their legal basis.
- 1623 W Westmoreland Stmajor assessment exemption0.07%$77/yr on $106K
- 1625 W Westmoreland Stmajor assessment exemption0.09%$101/yr on $107K
- 1620 W Westmoreland Stlower taxable assessment0.60%$1,048/yr on $175K
One large gap: 1625 W Westmoreland St has a $101/year assessment-based estimate on $107K assessed value — about 7% of the $1,501 full-assessment scenario. Verify the exemption basis and live account before relying on either number.
