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:
- 1201 S 26th Stexemption0.00%$0/yr on $75K
- 1203 S 26th Stexemption0.00%$0/yr on $73K
- 1211 S 26th Stexemption0.00%$0/yr on $71K
- 1219 S 26th Sttax-abated new construction0.00%$0/yr on $135K
- 1221 S 26th Sttax-abated new construction0.00%$0/yr on $108K
- …and 12 more paying under the full rate — the gold-ringed bubbles in the makeup chart
The starkest example: 1244 S 26th St is assessed at $655K but pays $1,833 a year — about 20% of the $9,166 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 +8.9% 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 $254 today versus $201 across Philadelphia — this block outpaced the market.
