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.
How the block compares
The typical parcel here is $21K — about 0.1× the citywide median home, and below the ZIP 19132 median of $84K. The same block, read against everyone else in the ZIP 19132 and across Philadelphia.
| This block | ZIP 19132 | Philadelphia | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Median parcel value (ZIP/city: homes) | $21K | $84K | $230K |
| Owner-occupied | 0% | 35% | 48% |
Safety & quality of life
Within 200 metres of the block over the last 12 months: 194 reported crimes (about 16 a month, 47% of them violent) and 205 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.
