What it's worth, and where taxes are going

• $167K typical home, up +87% since 2016
• Tax bill $1,102 to $1,136 a year, +0%/yr and compounding
• Whole block: $9.4M assessed, $88,383/yr to the city, about $1,578 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:

• 5448 Walker Stexemption0.51%$810/yr on $158K
• 5452 Walker Stexemption0.51%$810/yr on $158K
• 5454 Walker Stexemption0.51%$810/yr on $158K
• 5450 Walker Stexemption0.51%$812/yr on $158K
• 5446 Walker Stexemption0.52%$822/yr on $159K
• …and 26 more paying under the full rate — the gold-ringed bubbles in the makeup chart

The starkest example: 5433 Walker St is assessed at $167K but pays $1,243 a year — about 53% of the $2,336 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
