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:
- 2251 Kennedy Sttax-abated new construction0.24%$286/yr on $120K
- 2263 Kennedy Stexemption0.31%$400/yr on $129K
- 2256 Kennedy Stexemption0.43%$616/yr on $144K
- 2250 Kennedy Sttax-abated new construction0.67%$1,745/yr on $260K
- 2262 Kennedy Sttax-abated new construction0.70%$1,207/yr on $173K
- …and 1 more paying under the full rate — the gold-ringed bubbles in the makeup chart
The starkest example: 2250 Kennedy St is assessed at $260K but pays $1,745 a year — about 48% of the $3,639 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 +7.5% 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 $222 today versus $201 across Philadelphia — this block outpaced the market.
