• $117K typical home, up +80% since 2016
• Tax bill $903 to $1,601 a year, +5%/yr and compounding
• Whole block: $4.6M assessed, $43,065/yr to the city, about $1,077 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:

• 1902 E Madison Sttax-abated new construction0.04%$46/yr on $103K
• 1913 E Madison Sttax-abated new construction0.19%$224/yr on $116K
• 1915 E Madison Sttax-abated new construction0.19%$225/yr on $116K
• 1929 E Madison Sttax-abated new construction0.19%$225/yr on $116K
• 1905 E Madison Sttax-abated new construction0.20%$234/yr on $117K
• …and 10 more paying under the full rate — the gold-ringed bubbles in the makeup chart

The starkest example: 1906 E Madison St is assessed at $125K but pays $346 a year — about 20% of the $1,746 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 +5.5% a year against the city's 6.5%.

Indexed performance · this block vs. the Philadelphia market
