What it's worth, and where taxes are going

• $237K typical home, up +95% since 2016
• Tax bill $1,617 to $3,122 a year, +6%/yr and compounding
• Whole block: $11M assessed, $126,942/yr to the city, about $2,760 per home

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, 29 of 46 homes pay that full rate — and 17 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.

The starkest example: 6619 Torresdale Ave is assessed at $223K but pays $0 a year — about 0% of the $3,122 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 tracked the Philadelphia market, compounding +6.2% a year against the city's 6.5%.

Indexed performance · this block vs. the Philadelphia market
