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:
- 1207 W Cambria Stexemption0.00%$0/yr on $29K
- 1209 W Cambria Stexemption0.00%$0/yr on $30K
- 1213 W Cambria Stexemption0.00%$0/yr on $29K
- 1220 W Cambria Sttax-abated new construction0.00%$0/yr on $94K
- 1212 W Cambria Sttax-abated new construction0.11%$119/yr on $109K
- …and 7 more paying under the full rate — the gold-ringed bubbles in the makeup chart
The starkest example: 1211 W Cambria St is assessed at $384K but pays $3,538 a year — about 66% of the $5,371 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 +8.1% 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 $236 today versus $201 across Philadelphia — this block outpaced the market.
