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:
- 2227 S 17th Sttax-abated new construction0.72%$1,890/yr on $262K
- 2229 S 17th Sttax-abated new construction0.72%$1,890/yr on $262K
- 2211 S 17th Sttax-abated new construction0.72%$1,898/yr on $262K
- 2246 S 17th Stexemption0.79%$1,795/yr on $228K
- 2248 S 17th Stexemption0.79%$1,795/yr on $228K
- …and 21 more paying under the full rate — the gold-ringed bubbles in the makeup chart
The starkest example: 2209 S 17th St is assessed at $262K but pays $2,091 a year — about 57% of the $3,669 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 +4.5% 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 $162 today versus $201 across Philadelphia — this block trailed the market.
