What it's worth, and where taxes are going

• $298K typical home, up +49% since 2016
• Tax bill $2,801 to $4,162 a year, +4%/yr and compounding
• Whole block: $24M assessed, $311,510/yr to the city, about $3,894 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:

• 4045 Balwynne Park Rdexemption0.93%$2,732/yr on $295K
• 4047 Balwynne Park Rdexemption0.93%$2,732/yr on $295K
• 4014 Balwynne Park Rdexemption0.93%$2,756/yr on $297K
• 4016 Balwynne Park Rdexemption0.93%$2,756/yr on $297K
• 4022 Balwynne Park Rdexemption0.93%$2,759/yr on $297K
• …and 15 more paying under the full rate — the gold-ringed bubbles in the makeup chart

The starkest example: 4067 Balwynne Park Rd is assessed at $297K but pays $3,119 a year — about 75% of the $4,159 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 +3.7% 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 $149 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.
