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:
- 701 Walnut Sttax-abated new construction0.59%$11,105/yr on $1.9M
- 717 Walnut Sttax-abated new construction1.11%$18,533/yr on $1.7M
The starkest example: 701 Walnut St is assessed at $1.9M but pays $11,105 a year — about 42% of the $26,441 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 +2% 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 $124 today versus $201 across Philadelphia — this block trailed the market.
