What it's worth, and where taxes are going

• $481K typical home, up +211% since 2016
• Tax bill $1,473 to $4,492 a year, +11%/yr and compounding
• Whole block: $21M assessed, $195,939/yr to the city, about $4,557 per home

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, 19 of 43 homes pay that full rate — and 24 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 starkest example: 135 E Allen St is assessed at $861K but pays $8,908 a year — about 74% of the $12,058 it would owe at the full rate, because its new-construction value is abated for 10 years.

The block as an asset

Read like a financial asset, this block has beaten the Philadelphia market, compounding +10.9% a year against the city's 6.5%.

Indexed performance · this block vs. the Philadelphia market
