What it's worth, and where taxes are going

• $228K typical home, up +73% since 2016
• Tax bill $915 to $2,189 a year, +8%/yr and compounding
• Whole block: $9.7M assessed, $59,646/yr to the city, about $1,864 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, 11 of 32 homes pay that full rate — and 21 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: 3721 Brandywine St is assessed at $790K but pays $2,212 a year — about 20% of the $11,058 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 +5.1% 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 $173 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.

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).
