What it's worth, and where taxes are going

• $99K typical home, up +90% since 2016
• Tax bill $732 to $1,387 a year, +6%/yr and compounding
• Whole block: $4.4M assessed, $43,533/yr to the city, about $989 per home

Who really pays — each home's tax bill as a share of its value

Philadelphia charges every home the same 1.40% of its assessed value. On this block, 29 of 44 homes pay that full rate — and 15 pay less, because abatements and exemptions shrink the taxed value. Each dot is one home; the further left, the less of its value it pays. Hover a dot for the house.

The starkest example: 829 E Thayer St is assessed at $105K but pays $70 a year — about 5% of the $1,470 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 tracked the Philadelphia market, compounding +6% 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 $190 today versus $201 across Philadelphia — this block trailed the 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.

How often it changes hands

Who owns it

The block's largest owner, Legancy Real State Development LLC, carries 10 open violations across 23 properties it owns around the city.

The mailing address is where the assessor sends the tax bill — for an LLC, often the closest public record gets to the person behind it. "Registry" searches the owner's name in state incorporation records (OpenCorporates).
