• $240K typical home, up +130% since 2016

• Whole block: $8.5M assessed, $99,166/yr to the city, about $2,680 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:

• 252 Apsley Sttax-abated new construction0.31%$672/yr on $215K
• 230 Apsley Stexemption0.41%$570/yr on $141K
• 246 Apsley Stexemption0.41%$570/yr on $141K
• 235 Apsley Sttax-abated new construction0.45%$1,428/yr on $319K
• 233 Apsley Stexemption0.67%$1,300/yr on $193K
• …and 7 more paying under the full rate — the gold-ringed bubbles in the makeup chart

The starkest example: 235 Apsley St is assessed at $319K but pays $1,428 a year — about 32% of the $4,463 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 +7.9% a year against the city's 6.5%.

Indexed performance · this block vs. the Philadelphia market
