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, 9 of 17 homes pay that full rate — and 8 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 block as an asset
Read like a financial asset, this block has beaten the Philadelphia market, compounding +7.3% a year against the city's 6.5%.
