2
2 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 $1,902 a year off the tax roll. Read the tax figures with that in mind.

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, 11 of 14 homes pay that full rate — and 3 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.

1.40% — the full rate0%0.4%0.8%1.2%
home on this blocktax-abated
$0pays now $836at the full rate

The starkest example: 1919 E Silver St is assessed at $60K but pays $0 a year — about 0% of the $836 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 +12.3% a year against the city's 6.5%.
