What it's worth, and where taxes are going

• $200K typical home, up +78% since 2016
• Tax bill $1,171 to $2,007 a year, +5%/yr and compounding
• Whole block: $8.6M assessed, $81,527/yr to the city, about $2,038 per home

Who really pays — each home's tax bill as a share of its value

Philadelphia charges every home the same 1.40% of its assessed value. On this block, 13 of 40 homes pay that full rate — and 27 pay less, because abatements and exemptions shrink the taxed value. Each dot is one home; the further left, the less of its value it pays. Hover a dot for the house.

The starkest example: 2746 Alresford St is assessed at $203K but pays $454 a year — about 16% of the $2,836 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 +5.4% 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 $178 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.

How often it changes hands

This block has recorded 49 arm's-length sales since 2000. The typical home has sold 1 time in that window, while 9 have not changed hands at all.

Who owns it

The mailing address is where the assessor sends the tax bill — for an LLC, often the closest public record gets to the person behind it. "Registry" searches the owner's name in state incorporation records (OpenCorporates).
