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 4th Stexemption0.00%$0/yr on $41K
- 2236 N 4th Stexemption0.00%$0/yr on $41K
- 2240 N 4th Sttax-abated new construction0.00%$0/yr on $203K
- 2242 N 4th Stexemption0.00%$0/yr on $42K
- 2256 N 4th Stexemption0.00%$0/yr on $32K
- …and 4 more paying under the full rate — the gold-ringed bubbles in the makeup chart
The starkest example: 2219-21 N 4th St is assessed at $829K but pays $4,642 a year — about 40% of the $11,606 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 +20.2% 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 $760 today versus $201 across Philadelphia — this block outpaced the market.
