What it's worth, and where taxes are going

• $230K typical home, up +89% since 2016
• Tax bill $1,495 to $1,841 a year, +2%/yr and compounding
• Whole block: $18M assessed, $187,402/yr to the city, about $2,466 per home

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:

• 1222 Stirling Stexemption0.78%$1,786/yr on $228K
• 1260 Stirling Stexemption0.78%$1,786/yr on $228K
• 1207 Stirling Stexemption0.79%$1,813/yr on $230K
• 1209 Stirling Stexemption0.79%$1,813/yr on $230K
• 1210 Stirling Stexemption0.79%$1,813/yr on $230K
• …and 40 more paying under the full rate — the gold-ringed bubbles in the makeup chart

The starkest example: 1274 Stirling St is assessed at $302K but pays $3,853 a year — about 91% of the $4,220 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 tracked the Philadelphia market, compounding +6% a year against the city's 6.5%.

Indexed performance · this block vs. the Philadelphia market
