Assessment change through 2027
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

Indexed assessment change · this block vs. Philadelphia residential assessments
Rebased to 100 in 2016, like a stock against its index. $100 in the typical home here would be worth $306 today versus $201 across Philadelphia — this block outpaced the market.
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.
How often it changes hands
The fetched deed history contains 12 non-nominal recorded transfers for homes on this block since 2004. The median home has 2 such transfers in that window, while 3 have none. Consideration above $100 is not proof of an arm's-length market sale.
