Estimated property tax · per home, per year

▲ +51% since 2016 · ~+4%/yr

26 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 $32,945 a year off the tax roll. Read the tax figures with that in mind.

Who really pays — effective tax rate, one dot per home

1700 Saint Paul St is assessed at $108K but pays $113 a year — about 7% of the $1,513 it would owe at the statutory rate, because its new-construction value is abated.

The block as an asset

Read like a financial asset, this block has lagged the Philadelphia market, compounding +4.8% 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 $167 today versus $201 across Philadelphia — this block trailed the market.

About this data & fine print

Answers are generated by an AI agent querying City of Philadelphia open data at the moment you ask: OPA property assessments, Recorder of Deeds transfer records, L&I permits, violations & licenses, Dept. of Revenue tax balances, Zoning Board appeals, Police incident reports, Philly311 requests, and School District of Philadelphia catchment and school data.

City data is published as-is and can lag, contain errors, or be corrected later; school performance datasets run years behind and are labeled with their school year. AI answers can contain mistakes — verify anything that matters against the official record (property.phila.gov, atlas.phila.gov) before acting on it.

Informational only. Not legal, financial, or investment advice. Not a consumer report under the FCRA — it may not be used to decide anyone's eligibility for housing, tenancy, employment, credit, or insurance.
