What it's worth, and where taxes are going

• $136K typical home, up +129% since 2016
• Tax bill $834 to $1,501 a year, +5%/yr and compounding
• Whole block: $6.8M assessed, $60,744/yr to the city, about $1,381 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:

• 1201 W Airdrie Sttax-abated new construction0.00%$0/yr on $180K
• 1216 W Airdrie Stexemption0.00%$0/yr on $31K
• 1226 W Airdrie Stexemption0.33%$426/yr on $130K
• 1228 W Airdrie Stexemption0.33%$426/yr on $130K
• 1232 W Airdrie Stexemption0.33%$426/yr on $130K
• …and 16 more paying under the full rate — the gold-ringed bubbles in the makeup chart

The starkest example: 1219 W Airdrie St is assessed at $649K but pays $2,787 a year — about 31% of the $9,088 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 +7.8% a year against the city's 6.5%.
