• $346K typical home, up +531% since 2016

• Whole block: $16M assessed, $155,835/yr to the city, about $3,247 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:

• 1415 S Colorado Stexemption0.00%$0/yr on $112K
• 1417 S Colorado Stexemption0.00%$0/yr on $112K
• 1441 S Colorado Sttax-abated new construction0.28%$1,509/yr on $539K
• 1443 S Colorado Sttax-abated new construction0.28%$1,512/yr on $540K
• 1445 S Colorado Sttax-abated new construction0.28%$1,512/yr on $540K
• …and 20 more paying under the full rate — the gold-ringed bubbles in the makeup chart

The starkest example: 1443 S Colorado St is assessed at $540K but pays $1,512 a year — about 20% of the $7,560 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 +18.2% a year against the city's 6.5%.
