The makeup of the block

Every home, plotted by size and assessed value — press play and watch the block reprice from 2016 to 2027. One bubble per house (area = lot size), colored by who owns it; a gold ring marks tax-abated new construction. Click a bubble for its report.

19
19 properties on this block carry a tax abatement or major exemption. New construction and gut rehabs get the improvement value exempted for up to 10 years, so their tax bills sit far below their real value — block-wide, exemptions keep about $27,669 a year off the tax roll. Read the tax figures with that in mind.

2404 N 16th St is assessed at $101K but pays $8 a year — about 1% of the $1,408 it would owe at the statutory rate, because its new-construction value is abated.
