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:
- 815-23 Cathedral Rdtax-abated new construction0.03%$1,952/yr on $5.9M
- 826 Cathedral Rdexemption0.97%$3,182/yr on $327K
- 814 Cathedral Rdexemption0.99%$3,383/yr on $342K
- 804 Cathedral Rdexemption1.00%$3,490/yr on $349K
- 837 Cathedral Rdexemption1.00%$3,539/yr on $353K
- …and 29 more paying under the full rate — the gold-ringed bubbles in the makeup chart
The starkest example: 815-23 Cathedral Rd is assessed at $5.9M but pays $1,952 a year — about 2% of the $82,716 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 +5.2% 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 $174 today versus $201 across Philadelphia — this block trailed the market.
