• $400K typical home, up +2529% since 2016
• Tax bill $188 to $2,305 a year, +26%/yr and compounding
• Whole block: $39M assessed, $138,866/yr to the city, about $3,654 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:

• 1908 E York Stexemption0.00%$0/yr on $165K
• 1946 E York Stexemption0.00%$0/yr on $129K
• 1940 E York Sttax-abated new construction0.14%$516/yr on $369K
• 1901-19 E York Sttax-abated new construction0.14%$34,095/yr on $24M
• 1940 E York Sttax-abated new construction0.14%$501/yr on $358K
• …and 18 more paying under the full rate — the gold-ringed bubbles in the makeup chart

The starkest example: 1901-19 E York St is assessed at $24M but pays $34,095 a year — about 10% of the $340,952 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 +34.6% a year against the city's 6.5%.
