What it's worth, and where taxes are going

• $129K typical home, up +62% since 2016
• Tax bill $858 to $1,726 a year, +7%/yr and compounding
• Whole block: $3.9M assessed, $46,812/yr to the city, about $1,734 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:

• 1213 W Tioga Stexemption0.00%$0/yr on $28K
• 1225 W Tioga Stexemption0.30%$381/yr on $127K
• 1224 W Tioga Sttax-abated new construction0.32%$496/yr on $157K
• 1227 W Tioga Sttax-abated new construction0.38%$626/yr on $164K
• 1239 W Tioga Stexemption0.48%$729/yr on $152K
• …and 1 more paying under the full rate — the gold-ringed bubbles in the makeup chart

The starkest example: 1227 W Tioga St is assessed at $164K but pays $626 a year — about 27% of the $2,296 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 lagged the Philadelphia market, compounding +4.5% a year against the city's 6.5%.
