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:
- 1508 N Bailey Stexemption0.00%$0/yr on $82K
- 1512 N Bailey Sttax-abated new construction0.28%$1,538/yr on $550K
- 1514 N Bailey Sttax-abated new construction0.28%$1,538/yr on $550K
- 1516 N Bailey Sttax-abated new construction0.28%$1,538/yr on $550K
- 1510 N Bailey Sttax-abated new construction0.28%$1,393/yr on $498K
- …and 8 more paying under the full rate — the gold-ringed bubbles in the makeup chart
The starkest example: 1501 N Bailey St is assessed at $929K but pays $2,601 a year — about 20% of the $13,007 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 +12.6% 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 $367 today versus $201 across Philadelphia — this block outpaced the market.
Return is from assessed-value history (a proxy for market price, lumpy in reassessment years); rental yield is estimated from ACS area rents. Informational only, not investment advice.
