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 $107K — about 0.5× the citywide median home, and below the ZIP 19143 median of $155K. The same block, read against everyone else in the ZIP 19143 and across Philadelphia.
| This block | ZIP 19143 | Philadelphia | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Median parcel value (ZIP/city: homes) | $107K | $155K | $230K |
| Owner-occupied | 0% | 46% | 48% |
Safety & quality of life
Within 200 metres of the block over the last 12 months: 63 reported crimes (about 5 a month, 30% of them violent) and 121 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.

Indexed performance · this block vs. the Philadelphia market

Return is from assessed-value history (a proxy for market price, lumpy in reassessment years). Informational only, not investment advice.
