What it's worth, and where taxes are going

• $212K typical home, up +88% since 2016
• Tax bill $1,326 to $2,375 a year, +5%/yr and compounding
• Whole block: $13M assessed, $128,181/yr to the city, about $2,249 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, 25 of 57 homes pay that full rate — and 32 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: 3176 Chatham St is assessed at $289K but pays $3,453 a year — about 85% of the $4,040 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 +5.9% 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 $188 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.
