The makeup of the block

Every home, plotted by size and assessed value — press play and watch the block reprice from 2016 to 2027. One bubble per house (area = lot size), colored by who owns it; a gold ring marks tax-abated new construction. Click a bubble for its report.

9
9 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 $23,536 a year off the tax roll. Read the tax figures with that in mind.

1922 N 24th St is assessed at $235K but pays $732 a year — about 22% of the $3,291 it would owe at the statutory rate, because its new-construction value is abated.
