By the Numbers
How fast it's moving
Assessed-value change for the typical home. Philadelphia taxes a flat 1.3998% of value, so the bill moves with it.

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:
- 2512 Federal Sttax-abated new construction0.06%$126/yr on $210K
- 2538 Federal Sttax-abated new construction0.16%$344/yr on $216K
- 2516 Federal Sttax-abated new construction0.16%$344/yr on $210K
- 2518 Federal Sttax-abated new construction0.16%$344/yr on $210K
- 2536 Federal Sttax-abated new construction0.16%$344/yr on $210K
- …and 15 more paying under the full rate — the gold-ringed bubbles in the makeup chart
The starkest example: 2522 Federal St is assessed at $863K but pays $2,415 a year — about 20% of the $12,076 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 +8.7% 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 $251 today versus $201 across Philadelphia — this block outpaced the market.
