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:
- 1540 S Myrtlewood Sttax-abated new construction0.38%$957/yr on $250K
- 1516 S Myrtlewood Stexemption0.46%$690/yr on $149K
- 1527 S Myrtlewood Stexemption0.46%$690/yr on $149K
- 1533 S Myrtlewood Stexemption0.46%$690/yr on $149K
- 1545 S Myrtlewood Stexemption0.46%$690/yr on $149K
- …and 15 more paying under the full rate — the gold-ringed bubbles in the makeup chart
The starkest example: 1538 S Myrtlewood St is assessed at $250K but pays $1,703 a year — about 49% of the $3,500 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 +9.5% 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 $270 today versus $201 across Philadelphia — this block outpaced the market.
