What it's worth, and where taxes are going

• $294K typical home, up +68% since 2016
• Tax bill $1,969 to $3,868 a year, +6%/yr and compounding
• Whole block: $10M assessed, $119,721/yr to the city, about $3,521 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:

• 2200-02 S 7th Sttax-abated new construction0.20%$966/yr on $478K
• 2217 S 7th Sttax-abated new construction0.25%$798/yr on $318K
• 2218-20 S 7th Sttax-abated new construction0.27%$1,428/yr on $528K
• 2211 S 7th Stexemption0.46%$682/yr on $149K
• 2228 S 7th Stexemption0.80%$1,851/yr on $232K
• …and 2 more paying under the full rate — the gold-ringed bubbles in the makeup chart

The starkest example: 2218-20 S 7th St is assessed at $528K but pays $1,428 a year — about 19% of the $7,388 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 +4.8% 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 $168 today versus $201 across Philadelphia — this block trailed the market.

Return is from assessed-value history (a proxy for market price, lumpy in reassessment years); rental yield is estimated from ACS area rents. Informational only, not investment advice.
