What it's worth, and where taxes are going

• $340K typical home, up +79% since 2016
• Tax bill $2,633 to $3,423 a year, +2%/yr and compounding
• Whole block: $12M assessed, $132,691/yr to the city, about $3,686 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:

• 714 E Upsal Stexemption0.95%$2,920/yr on $309K
• 726 E Upsal Stexemption0.95%$2,920/yr on $309K
• 704 E Upsal Stexemption0.95%$2,921/yr on $309K
• 708 E Upsal Stexemption0.95%$2,921/yr on $309K
• 710 E Upsal Stexemption0.95%$2,921/yr on $309K
• …and 21 more paying under the full rate — the gold-ringed bubbles in the makeup chart

The starkest example: 721 E Upsal St is assessed at $344K but pays $4,076 a year — about 85% of the $4,821 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 +5.5% a year against the city's 6.5%.

Indexed performance · this block vs. the Philadelphia market

Rebased to 100 in 2016, like a stock against its index. $100 in the typical home here would be worth $179 today versus $201 across Philadelphia — this block trailed the market.

Return is from assessed-value history (a proxy for market price, lumpy in reassessment years); rental yield is estimated from ACS area rents. Informational only, not investment advice.
