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:
- 935 Arch Sttax-abated new construction0.90%$8,903/yr on $990K
The starkest example: 930 Arch St is assessed at $1.3M but pays $17,612 a year — about 98% of the $17,889 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 +3.1% a year against the city's 6.5%.

Rebased to 100 in 2016, like a stock against its index. $100 in the typical home here would be worth $139 today versus $201 across Philadelphia — this block trailed the market.
