What it's worth, and where taxes are going

• $384K typical home, up +183% since 2016

• Whole block: $19M assessed, $230,670/yr to the city, about $4,613 per home

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:

• 2225 S 15th Sttax-abated new construction0.48%$1,684/yr on $349K
• 2205 S 15th Sttax-abated new construction0.55%$1,928/yr on $349K
• 2237 S 15th Sttax-abated new construction0.55%$1,928/yr on $349K
• 2220 S 15th Sttax-abated new construction0.56%$1,944/yr on $349K
• 2221 S 15th Stexemption1.00%$3,484/yr on $349K
• …and 15 more paying under the full rate — the gold-ringed bubbles in the makeup chart

The starkest example: 2205 S 15th St is assessed at $349K but pays $1,928 a year — about 39% of the $4,884 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 +9.9% a year against the city's 6.5%.

Indexed performance · this block vs. the Philadelphia market
