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:
- 2234 N 20th Stexemption0.00%$0/yr on $29K
- 2240 N 20th Sttax-abated new construction0.00%$0/yr on $138K
- 2243-57 N 20th Sttax-abated new construction0.00%$0/yr on $888K
- 2256 N 20th Sttax-abated new construction0.29%$995/yr on $346K
The starkest example: 2243-57 N 20th St is assessed at $888K but pays $0 a year — about 0% of the $12,436 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 +10.7% a year against the city's 6.5%.

Rebased to 100 in 2016, like a stock against its index. $100 in the typical home here would be worth $306 today versus $201 across Philadelphia — this block outpaced the market.
