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 $419K — about 1.8× the citywide median home, and below the ZIP 19147 median of $464K. The same block, read against everyone else in the ZIP 19147 and across Philadelphia.
| This block | ZIP 19147 | Philadelphia | |

Safety & quality of life
Within 200 metres of the block over the last 12 months: 65 reported crimes (about 5 a month, 35% of them violent) and 161 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.
Most reported crimes
Top 311 complaints

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.

One large gap: 333 Wharton St has a $4,734/year assessment-based estimate on $622K assessed value — about 54% of the $8,703 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 lagged the Philadelphia market, compounding +5.3% 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 $177 today versus $201 across Philadelphia — this block trailed the 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.
