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:
- 1234 N Newkirk Sttax-abated new construction0.00%$0/yr on $139K
- 1265-71 N Newkirk Sttax-abated new construction0.14%$1,478/yr on $1.1M
- 1241 N Newkirk Sttax-abated new construction0.26%$322/yr on $123K
- 1243 N Newkirk Sttax-abated new construction0.26%$322/yr on $123K
- 1262 N Newkirk Sttax-abated new construction0.28%$1,125/yr on $402K
- …and 13 more paying under the full rate — the gold-ringed bubbles in the makeup chart
The starkest example: 1265-71 N Newkirk St is assessed at $1.1M but pays $1,478 a year — about 10% of the $14,792 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 +12.5% 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 $366 today versus $201 across Philadelphia — this block outpaced the market.
