What it's worth, and where taxes are going

• $181K typical home, up +122% since 2016
• Tax bill $1,141 to $2,492 a year, +7%/yr and compounding
• Whole block: $11M assessed, $122,081/yr to the city, about $2,180 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:

• 2209 S Croskey Stexemption0.61%$1,092/yr on $178K
• 2221 S Croskey Stexemption0.61%$1,092/yr on $178K
• 2225 S Croskey Stexemption0.61%$1,092/yr on $178K
• 2227 S Croskey Stexemption0.61%$1,092/yr on $178K
• 2237 S Croskey Stexemption0.61%$1,092/yr on $178K
• …and 16 more paying under the full rate — the gold-ringed bubbles in the makeup chart

The starkest example: 2201 S Croskey St is assessed at $164K but pays $1,149 a year — about 50% of the $2,298 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 +7.5% 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 $222 today versus $201 across Philadelphia — this block outpaced the market.
