What it's worth, and where taxes are going

• $397K typical home, up +82% since 2016
• Tax bill $2,886 to $4,727 a year, +5%/yr and compounding
• Whole block: $24M assessed, $271,899/yr to the city, about $5,911 per home

Who really pays — each home's tax bill as a share of its value

Philadelphia charges every home the same 1.40% of its assessed value. On this block, 25 of 46 homes pay that full rate — and 21 pay less, because abatements and exemptions shrink the taxed value. Each dot is one home; the further left, the less of its value it pays. Hover a dot for the house.

The starkest example: 1913 Wallace St is assessed at $1.9M but pays $6,298 a year — about 24% of the $26,217 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 lagged the Philadelphia market, compounding +5.6% 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 $182 today versus $201 across Philadelphia — this block trailed the market.
