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:

• 212 Sumac Sttax-abated new construction0.87%$6,978/yr on $798K
• 227 Sumac Stexemption0.94%$2,885/yr on $306K
• 229 Sumac Stexemption0.94%$2,885/yr on $306K
• 235 Sumac Stexemption0.95%$2,909/yr on $308K
• 247 Sumac Stexemption0.95%$2,910/yr on $308K
• …and 41 more paying under the full rate — the gold-ringed bubbles in the makeup chart

The starkest example: 212 Sumac St is assessed at $798K but pays $6,978 a year — about 62% of the $11,165 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 +7.2% a year against the city's 6.5%.
