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:
- 517 N Hobart Sttax-abated new construction0.00%$0/yr on $79K
- 519 N Hobart Sttax-abated new construction0.00%$0/yr on $79K
- 522 N Hobart Sttax-abated new construction0.00%$0/yr on $79K
- 525 N Hobart Sttax-abated new construction0.00%$0/yr on $79K
- 530 N Hobart Sttax-abated new construction0.00%$0/yr on $79K
- …and 4 more paying under the full rate — the gold-ringed bubbles in the makeup chart
The starkest example: 541 N Hobart St is assessed at $88K but pays $0 a year — about 0% of the $1,233 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 +5.7% 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 $184 today versus $201 across Philadelphia — this block trailed the market.
