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:

• 2256 Dickinson Sttax-abated new construction0.14%$519/yr on $371K
• 2256 Dickinson Sttax-abated new construction0.14%$506/yr on $361K
• 2250 Dickinson Sttax-abated new construction0.15%$311/yr on $205K
• 2219 Dickinson Sttax-abated new construction0.15%$311/yr on $201K
• 2230 Dickinson Sttax-abated new construction0.16%$311/yr on $198K
• …and 26 more paying under the full rate — the gold-ringed bubbles in the makeup chart

The starkest example: 2210 Dickinson St is assessed at $456K but pays $1,410 a year — about 22% of the $6,384 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 +13.2% a year against the city's 6.5%.
