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:
- 700-14 N 39th Sttax-abated new construction0.00%$0/yr on $723K
- 747 N 39th Stexemption0.00%$0/yr on $42K
- 751 N 39th Stexemption0.00%$0/yr on $42K
- 755 N 39th Sttax-abated new construction0.00%$0/yr on $139K
- 757 N 39th Sttax-abated new construction0.00%$0/yr on $157K
- …and 13 more paying under the full rate — the gold-ringed bubbles in the makeup chart
The starkest example: 700-14 N 39th St is assessed at $723K but pays $0 a year — about 0% of the $10,122 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 beaten the Philadelphia market, compounding +18.9% 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 $674 today versus $201 across Philadelphia — this block outpaced the market.
