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:
- 1236 Crease Stexemption0.00%$0/yr on $181K
- 1238 Crease Stexemption0.00%$0/yr on $184K
- 1251 Crease Sttax-abated new construction0.35%$1,638/yr on $462K
- 1234 Crease Sttax-abated new construction0.43%$1,390/yr on $322K
- 1223 Crease Sttax-abated new construction0.79%$2,976/yr on $375K
- …and 19 more paying under the full rate — the gold-ringed bubbles in the makeup chart
The starkest example: 1251 Crease St is assessed at $462K but pays $1,638 a year — about 25% of the $6,463 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 +7.1% a year against the city's 6.5%.
Indexed performance · this block vs. the Philadelphia market
Rebased to 100 in 2016, like a stock against its index. $100 in the typical home here would be worth $213 today versus $201 across Philadelphia — this block outpaced the market.
