What it's worth, and where taxes are going

• $142K typical home, up +87% since 2016
• Tax bill $1,013 to $1,817 a year, +5%/yr and compounding
• Whole block: $5.6M assessed, $52,547/yr to the city, about $1,347 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:

• 5024 Hawthorne Sttax-abated new construction0.27%$329/yr on $124K
• 5022 Hawthorne Sttax-abated new construction0.28%$347/yr on $125K
• 5020 Hawthorne Stexemption0.31%$398/yr on $128K
• 5007 Hawthorne Stexemption0.35%$462/yr on $133K
• 5026 Hawthorne Stexemption0.37%$507/yr on $136K
• …and 13 more paying under the full rate — the gold-ringed bubbles in the makeup chart

The starkest example: 5022 Hawthorne St is assessed at $125K but pays $347 a year — about 20% of the $1,747 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
