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:
- 5624 Elmwood Avetax-abated new construction0.27%$336/yr on $124K
- 5610 Elmwood Aveexemption0.37%$512/yr on $137K
The starkest example: 5624 Elmwood Ave is assessed at $124K but pays $336 a year — about 19% of the $1,736 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 beaten the Philadelphia market, compounding +7.4% a year against the city's 6.5%.

Rebased to 100 in 2016, like a stock against its index. $100 in the typical home here would be worth $219 today versus $201 across Philadelphia — this block outpaced the market.
