What it's worth, and where taxes are going

• $332K typical home, up +84% since 2016

• Whole block: $9.7M assessed, $104,469/yr to the city, about $4,179 per home

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:

• 1132 Cottman Avetax-abated new construction0.00%$0/yr on $1.4M
• 1148 Cottman Aveexemption0.00%$0/yr on $72K
• 1125 Cottman Aveexemption0.90%$2,528/yr on $281K
• 1123 Cottman Aveexemption0.93%$2,762/yr on $297K
• 1109 Cottman Aveexemption0.97%$3,161/yr on $326K
• …and 5 more paying under the full rate — the gold-ringed bubbles in the makeup chart

The starkest example: 1132 Cottman Ave is assessed at $1.4M but pays $0 a year — about 0% of the $19,534 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 lagged the Philadelphia market, compounding +5.7% a year against the city's 6.5%.
