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:
- 2812 Helen Sttax-abated new construction0.10%$102/yr on $107K
- 2816 Helen Stexemption0.28%$350/yr on $125K
The starkest example: 2812 Helen St is assessed at $107K but pays $102 a year — about 7% of the $1,502 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 +8.3% 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 $239 today versus $201 across Philadelphia — this block outpaced the market.
