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:
- 1903 N 8th Stexemption0.00%$0/yr on $90K
- 1908 N 8th Stexemption0.00%$0/yr on $69K
- 1910 N 8th Sttax-abated new construction0.00%$0/yr on $22K
- 1922 N 8th Sttax-abated new construction0.00%$0/yr on $260K
- 1942 N 8th Sttax-abated new construction0.00%$0/yr on $22K
- …and 28 more paying under the full rate — the gold-ringed bubbles in the makeup chart
The starkest example: 1958 N 8th St is assessed at $627K but pays $1,754 a year — about 20% of the $8,774 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 +40.4% 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 $4181 today versus $201 across Philadelphia — this block outpaced the market.
