• $430K typical home, up +57% since 2016
• Tax bill $3,819 to $5,909 a year, +4%/yr and compounding
• Whole block: $22M assessed, $298,133/yr to the city, about $6,776 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:

• 2547 S Broad Sttax-abated new construction0.57%$3,779/yr on $659K
• 2539 S Broad Stexemption1.03%$3,964/yr on $383K
• 2543 S Broad Stexemption1.11%$5,283/yr on $477K
• 2536-38 S Broad Stexemption1.20%$8,547/yr on $711K
• 2513 S Broad Sttax-abated new construction1.23%$5,160/yr on $418K

The starkest example: 2542-44 S Broad St is assessed at $1.1M but pays $15,228 a year — about 98% of the $15,609 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 +4.2% 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 $157 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.
