What it's worth, and where taxes are going

• $306K typical home, up +53% since 2016
• Tax bill $2,546 to $4,017 a year, +4%/yr and compounding
• Whole block: $115M assessed, $1,363,601/yr to the city, about $9,276 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, 107 of 147 homes pay that full rate — and 40 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: 261 S 13th St is assessed at $18M but pays $87,736 a year — about 35% of the $251,180 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 +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 $153 today versus $201 across Philadelphia — this block trailed the market.

Return is from assessed-value history (a proxy for market price, lumpy in reassessment years); rental yield is estimated from ACS area rents. Informational only, not investment advice.
