Who really pays — each home's tax bill as a share of its value

Philadelphia charges every home the same 1.40% of its assessed value. On this block, 25 of 50 homes pay that full rate — and 25 pay less, because abatements and exemptions shrink the taxed value. Each dot is one home; the further left, the less of its value it pays. Hover a dot for the house.
