What it's worth, and where taxes are going

• $438K typical home, up +278% since 2016
• Tax bill $1,439 to $4,542 a year, +11%/yr and compounding
• Whole block: $29M assessed, $309,116/yr to the city, about $4,756 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:

• 2053 E York Sttax-abated new construction0.28%$1,879/yr on $671K
• 2060 E York Sttax-abated new construction0.28%$2,083/yr on $744K
• 2003 E York Sttax-abated new construction0.28%$1,582/yr on $565K
• 2046 E York Sttax-abated new construction0.28%$1,595/yr on $570K
• 2035 E York Sttax-abated new construction0.34%$1,119/yr on $330K
• …and 28 more paying under the full rate — the gold-ringed bubbles in the makeup chart

The starkest example: 2060 E York St is assessed at $744K but pays $2,083 a year — about 20% of the $10,416 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 +12.8% a year against the city's 6.5%.
