Who really pays — each home's tax bill as a share of its value
Philadelphia charges every home the same 1.40% of its assessed value. On this block, 5 of 14 homes pay that full rate — and 9 pay less, because abatements and exemptions shrink the taxed value. Each dot is one home; the further left, the less of its value it pays. Hover a dot for the house.
The block as an asset
Read like a financial asset, this block has lagged the Philadelphia market, compounding +5.4% a year against the city's 6.5%.

Rebased to 100 in 2016, like a stock against its index. $100 in the typical home here would be worth $178 today versus $201 across Philadelphia — this block trailed the market.
