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:
- 626-32 N 38th Sttax-abated new construction0.00%$0/yr on $254K
- 653 N 38th Stexemption0.00%$0/yr on $41K
- 655 N 38th Stexemption0.00%$0/yr on $39K
- 656 N 38th Sttax-abated new construction0.00%$0/yr on $133K
- 657 N 38th Sttax-abated new construction0.00%$0/yr on $141K
- …and 9 more paying under the full rate — the gold-ringed bubbles in the makeup chart
The starkest example: 624 N 38th St is assessed at $824K but pays $4,073 a year — about 35% of the $11,529 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 +3.8% 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 $151 today versus $201 across Philadelphia — this block trailed the market.
