What it's worth, and where taxes are going

• $180K typical home, up +158% since 2016
• Tax bill $901 to $1,282 a year, +3%/yr and compounding
• Whole block: $8.1M assessed, $69,118/yr to the city, about $1,868 per home

Who really pays — each home's tax bill as a share of its value

Philadelphia charges every home the same 1.40% of its assessed value. On this block, 15 of 37 homes pay that full rate — and 22 pay less, because abatements and exemptions shrink the taxed value. Each dot is one home; the further left, the less of its value it pays. Hover a dot for the house.

The starkest example: 2229 Pierce St is assessed at $458K but pays $1,282 a year — about 20% of the $6,408 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 +9% a year against the city's 6.5%.
