What it's worth, and where taxes are going

• $491K typical home, up +123% since 2016
• Tax bill $1,794 to $1,596 a year, -1%/yr and compounding
• Whole block: $31M assessed, $210,195/yr to the city, about $3,753 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:

• 713 N 19th Sttax-abated new construction0.00%$0/yr on $495K
• 730 N 19th Stexemption0.00%$0/yr on $380K
• 748 N 19th Sttax-abated new construction0.00%$0/yr on $655K
• 734 N 19th Sttax-abated new construction0.14%$593/yr on $424K
• 726 N 19th Sttax-abated new construction0.14%$1,639/yr on $1.2M
• …and 35 more paying under the full rate — the gold-ringed bubbles in the makeup chart

The starkest example: 718 N 19th St is assessed at $1.7M but pays $20,739 a year — about 87% of the $23,930 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 +7.6% a year against the city's 6.5%.
