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:
- 1621 W Erie Avetax-abated new construction0.00%$0/yr on $87K
- 1624 W Erie Avetax-abated new construction0.00%$0/yr on $91K
- 1625 W Erie Avetax-abated new construction0.00%$0/yr on $87K
- 1604 W Erie Aveexemption0.28%$351/yr on $125K
- 1612 W Erie Aveexemption0.28%$351/yr on $125K
- …and 3 more paying under the full rate — the gold-ringed bubbles in the makeup chart
The starkest example: 1618 W Erie Ave is assessed at $307K but pays $1,178 a year — about 27% of the $4,290 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 lagged the Philadelphia market, compounding +4.4% 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 $160 today versus $201 across Philadelphia — this block trailed the market.
