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.

How the block compares
The typical home here is $115K — about 0.5× the citywide median home, and below the ZIP 19121 median of $196K. The same block, read against everyone else in the ZIP 19121 and across Philadelphia.
| This block | ZIP 19121 | Philadelphia | |

Safety & quality of life
Within 200 metres of the block over the last 12 months: 161 reported crimes (about 13 a month, 46% of them violent) and 132 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.
- 2217 W Norris Stmajor assessment exemption0.04%$41/yr on $92K
- 2220 W Norris Stmajor assessment exemption0.12%$168/yr on $138K
- 2212 W Norris Stmajor assessment exemption0.16%$185/yr on $113K
- 2214 W Norris Stmajor assessment exemption0.16%$185/yr on $113K
One large gap: 2220 W Norris St has a $168/year assessment-based estimate on $138K assessed value — about 9% of the $1,936 full-assessment scenario. Verify the exemption basis and live account before relying on either number.
The block as an asset
Read like a financial asset, this block has beaten the Philadelphia market, compounding +13.3% a year against the city's 6.5%.
Indexed performance · this block vs. the Philadelphia market
Rebased to 100 in 2016, like a stock against its index. $100 in the typical home here would be worth $393 today versus $201 across Philadelphia — this block outpaced the market.
