Safety & quality of life

Within 200 metres of the block over the last 12 months: 220 reported crimes (about 18 a month, 26% of them violent) and 137 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.

Philadelphia Police incident reports and 311 service requests within 200m, trailing 12 months. Reported location, not necessarily where an incident occurred.

What it's worth, and where taxes are going

• $362K typical home, up +132% since 2016

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.

Indexed performance · this block vs. the Philadelphia market

Return is from assessed-value history (a proxy for market price, lumpy in reassessment years); rental yield is estimated from ACS area rents. Informational only, not investment advice.

How often it changes hands

This block has recorded 101 arm's-length sales since 1983. The typical home has sold 2 times in that window, while 11 have not changed hands at all.

Who owns it

The mailing address is where the assessor sends the tax bill — for an LLC, often the closest public record gets to the person behind it. "Registry" searches the owner's name in state incorporation records (OpenCorporates).
