• $147K typical home, up +144% since 2016

• Whole block: $7.2M assessed, $84,227/yr to the city, about $1,792 per home

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:

• 1740 W Erie Aveexemption0.00%$0/yr on $30K
• 1712 W Erie Avetax-abated new construction0.18%$209/yr on $115K
• 1714 W Erie Aveexemption0.31%$399/yr on $129K
• 1718 W Erie Aveexemption0.31%$399/yr on $129K
• 1720 W Erie Aveexemption0.31%$399/yr on $129K
• …and 8 more paying under the full rate — the gold-ringed bubbles in the makeup chart

The starkest example: 1712 W Erie Ave is assessed at $115K but pays $209 a year — about 13% of the $1,608 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 +8.5% a year against the city's 6.5%.
