What it's worth, and where taxes are going

• $468K typical home, up +46% since 2016
• Tax bill $2,045 to $6,436 a year, +11%/yr and compounding
• Whole block: $19M assessed, $262,731/yr to the city, about $7,101 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:

• 830 Christian Sttax-abated new construction1.00%$5,291/yr on $527K
• 825 Christian Stexemption1.15%$6,558/yr on $569K
• 812 Christian Stexemption1.20%$8,234/yr on $688K
• 812 Christian Stexemption1.20%$8,341/yr on $696K
• 812 Christian Stexemption1.20%$8,575/yr on $713K

The starkest example: 830 Christian St is assessed at $527K but pays $5,291 a year — about 72% of the $7,370 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 +3.5% a year against the city's 6.5%.

Indexed performance · this block vs. the Philadelphia market
