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:
- 1200 S 49th Stexemption0.00%$0/yr on $5K
- 1226 S 49th Stexemption0.00%$0/yr on $59K
- 1234 S 49th Stexemption0.00%$0/yr on $56K
- 1237 S 49th Sttax-abated new construction0.00%$0/yr on $154K
- 1239 S 49th Sttax-abated new construction0.00%$0/yr on $197K
- …and 24 more paying under the full rate — the gold-ringed bubbles in the makeup chart
The starkest example: 1217 S 49th St is assessed at $331K but pays $1,325 a year — about 29% of the $4,636 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 +14.3% 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 $436 today versus $201 across Philadelphia — this block outpaced the market.
