The makeup of the block

14
14 properties on this block carry a tax abatement or major exemption. New construction and gut rehabs get the improvement value exempted for up to 10 years, so their tax bills sit far below their real value — block-wide, exemptions keep about $21,235 a year off the tax roll. Read the tax figures with that in mind.

Who really pays

Philadelphia charges every home the same 1.40% of its assessed value. Abatements and exemptions shrink what some homes are taxed on — here's this block:

37 homes pay the full 1.40%15 pay less
$248pays now $1,648at the full rate

The starkest example: 112 N Ruby St is assessed at $118K but pays $248 a year — about 15% of the $1,648 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 +9.3% a year against the city's 6.5%.
