What it's worth, and where taxes are going

• $323K typical home, up +358% since 2016
• Tax bill $202 to $2,707 a year, +27%/yr and compounding
• Whole block: $16M assessed, $146,769/yr to the city, about $3,058 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:

• 1437 S Bouvier Sttax-abated new construction0.10%$181/yr on $180K
• 1425 S Bouvier Sttax-abated new construction0.11%$206/yr on $180K
• 1453 S Bouvier Sttax-abated new construction0.19%$504/yr on $259K
• 1423 S Bouvier Sttax-abated new construction0.28%$1,383/yr on $494K
• 1412 S Bouvier Sttax-abated new construction0.28%$1,439/yr on $514K
• …and 18 more paying under the full rate — the gold-ringed bubbles in the makeup chart

The starkest example: 1438 S Bouvier St is assessed at $530K but pays $1,783 a year — about 24% of the $7,416 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 +14.8% a year against the city's 6.5%.
