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:

• 2218 N 15th Sttax-abated new construction0.00%$0/yr on $187K
• 2230 N 15th Sttax-abated new construction0.25%$361/yr on $146K
• 2254 N 15th Sttax-abated new construction0.30%$378/yr on $124K
• 2208 N 15th Stexemption0.61%$1,075/yr on $177K
• 2235 N 15th Stexemption0.73%$1,531/yr on $209K
• …and 1 more paying under the full rate — the gold-ringed bubbles in the makeup chart

The starkest example: 2218 N 15th St is assessed at $187K but pays $0 a year — about 0% of the $2,623 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 +0.8% a year against the city's 6.5%.

Indexed performance · this block vs. the Philadelphia market
