What it's worth, and where taxes are going

• $725K typical home, up +72% since 2016
• Tax bill $4,526 to $9,300 a year, +7%/yr and compounding
• Whole block: $52M assessed, $621,861/yr to the city, about $9,145 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:

• 768 S 15th Sttax-abated new construction0.00%$0/yr on $477K
• 743 S 15th Sttax-abated new construction0.21%$1,583/yr on $744K
• 708 S 15th Sttax-abated new construction0.27%$1,755/yr on $647K
• 762 S 15th Sttax-abated new construction0.28%$3,252/yr on $1.2M
• 749 S 15th Sttax-abated new construction0.31%$1,680/yr on $546K
• …and 26 more paying under the full rate — the gold-ringed bubbles in the makeup chart

The starkest example: 757 S 15th St is assessed at $1.6M but pays $4,995 a year — about 23% of the $21,961 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 +5.1% a year against the city's 6.5%.

Indexed performance · this block vs. the Philadelphia 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.
