What it's worth, and where taxes are going

• $187K typical home, up +86% since 2016
• Tax bill $1,032 to $2,419 a year, +8%/yr and compounding
• Whole block: $21M assessed, $215,300/yr to the city, about $2,031 per home

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, 51 of 106 homes pay that full rate — and 55 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.

The starkest example: 1941 73rd Ave is assessed at $187K but pays $0 a year — about 0% of the $2,611 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 +5.8% 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 $186 today versus $201 across Philadelphia — this block trailed the market.

Return is from assessed-value history (a proxy for market price, lumpy in reassessment years); rental yield is estimated from ACS area rents. Informational only, not investment advice.
