• $174K typical home, up +152% since 2016
• Tax bill $944 to $1,212 a year, +2%/yr and compounding
• Whole block: $7.0M assessed, $73,895/yr to the city, about $1,759 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:

• 1934 W Erie Avetax-abated new construction0.25%$300/yr on $121K
• 1937 W Erie Aveexemption0.50%$780/yr on $156K
• 1939 W Erie Aveexemption0.50%$780/yr on $156K
• 1941 W Erie Aveexemption0.50%$780/yr on $156K
• 1906 W Erie Aveexemption0.56%$924/yr on $166K
• …and 12 more paying under the full rate — the gold-ringed bubbles in the makeup chart

The starkest example: 1934 W Erie Ave is assessed at $121K but pays $300 a year — about 18% of the $1,699 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 +8.8% a year against the city's 6.5%.
