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:
- 1240 S Newkirk Stexemption0.00%$0/yr on $74K
- 1242 S Newkirk Stexemption0.00%$0/yr on $74K
- 1250 S Newkirk Stexemption0.00%$0/yr on $74K
- 1263 S Newkirk Sttax-abated new construction0.00%$0/yr on $147K
- 1254 S Newkirk Sttax-abated new construction0.06%$84/yr on $148K
- …and 13 more paying under the full rate — the gold-ringed bubbles in the makeup chart
The starkest example: 1238 S Newkirk St is assessed at $440K but pays $1,233 a year — about 20% of the $6,165 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 +10% 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 $286 today versus $201 across Philadelphia — this block outpaced the market.
Return is from assessed-value history (a proxy for market price, lumpy in reassessment years); rental yield is estimated from ACS area rents. Informational only, not investment advice.
