547 Praxedis little more than 100 members. It orbits the Sun in the central main-belt at a distance of 2.1–3.4 AU once every 4 years and 8 months (1,690 days). Its orbit has an eccentricity of 0.24 and an inclination of 17° with respect to the ecliptic. In the Tholen classification, "Praxedis" has an ambiguous spectral type, closest to an X-type and somewhat similar to that of a darker D-type asteroid. In the SMASS classification it is a Xk-subtype that transitions from the X- to the rare K-type asteroids. According to the survey carried out by NASA's Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer, "Praxedis"
