5
5 properties on this block carry a tax abatement or major exemption. New construction and gut rehabs get the improvement value exempted for up to 10 years, so their tax bills sit far below their real value — block-wide, exemptions keep about $44,149 a year off the tax roll. Read the tax figures with that in mind.

Who really pays — each home's tax bill as a share of its value

Philadelphia charges every home the same 1.40% of its assessed value. On this block, 10 of 32 homes pay that full rate — and 22 pay less, because abatements and exemptions shrink the taxed value. Each dot is one home; the further left, the less of its value it pays. Hover a dot for the house.

$2,567pays now $6,922at the full rate

The starkest example: 1518 S Carlisle St is assessed at $495K but pays $2,567 a year — about 37% of the $6,922 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 +10.7% a year against the city's 6.5%.
