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:

• 750 S 12th Stexemption0.00%$0/yr on $696K
• 705-07 S 12th Sttax-abated new construction0.14%$650/yr on $464K
• 705-07 S 12th Sttax-abated new construction0.14%$578/yr on $413K
• 705-07 S 12th Sttax-abated new construction0.14%$542/yr on $387K
• 705-07 S 12th Sttax-abated new construction0.14%$542/yr on $387K
• …and 43 more paying under the full rate — the gold-ringed bubbles in the makeup chart

The starkest example: 765 S 12th St is assessed at $684K but pays $1,575 a year — about 16% of the $9,580 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 +3.6% a year against the city's 6.5%.
