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 $189K — about 0.8× the citywide median home, and above 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 | |

| Owner-occupied | 67% | 46% | 48% |
Safety & quality of life
Within 200 metres of the block over the last 12 months: 110 reported crimes (about 9 a month, 44% of them violent) and 175 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.
- 5436 Woodland Avelower taxable assessment0.58%$976/yr on $170K
- 5422 Woodland Avemajor assessment exemption0.70%$937/yr on $134K
- 5414 Woodland Avemajor assessment exemption0.99%$1,287/yr on $131K
One large gap: 5422 Woodland Ave has a $937/year assessment-based estimate on $134K assessed value — about 50% of the $1,874 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 +7.2% a year against the city's 6.5%.
Indexed performance · this block vs. the Philadelphia market
