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:
- 1040 W Erie Aveexemption0.00%$0/yr on $78K
- 1004 W Erie Avetax-abated new construction0.21%$487/yr on $229K
- 1012 W Erie Avetax-abated new construction0.23%$487/yr on $216K
- 1007 W Erie Avetax-abated new construction0.26%$321/yr on $123K
- 1009 W Erie Avetax-abated new construction0.26%$321/yr on $123K
- …and 3 more paying under the full rate — the gold-ringed bubbles in the makeup chart
The starkest example: 1004 W Erie Ave is assessed at $229K but pays $487 a year — about 15% of the $3,208 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 +8.8% a year against the city's 6.5%.
