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:
- 1921 N 5th Sttax-abated new construction0.00%$0/yr on $140K
- 1923 N 5th Stexemption0.00%$0/yr on $127K
- 1925 N 5th Stexemption0.00%$0/yr on $120K
- 1931 N 5th Sttax-abated new construction0.00%$0/yr on $321K
- 1933 N 5th Stexemption0.00%$0/yr on $108K
- …and 12 more paying under the full rate — the gold-ringed bubbles in the makeup chart
The starkest example: 1917 N 5th St is assessed at $601K but pays $3,306 a year — about 39% of the $8,406 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 +9.7% 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 $276 today versus $201 across Philadelphia — this block outpaced the market.
