Ashton Wooden Bridge is a 2-tract neighborhood of Philadelphia, PA and houses 2,682 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 5.6/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. 51% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, far above the Philadelphia rate of 31.4%.
32% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate. This is a renter market: 72% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. Pulling the other way is economic stress, at 2.3/10.
On the high side is eviction-process difficulty at 7.5/10. Scores across the 2 constituent tracts range from 5.6 to 6.6. A 1-point internal spread means block-level underwriting beats area-level here. Filings are well documented here: 529 across 2 observed tracts.
Sitting well above the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength at 7.5/10. Filing activity peaked in 2016 at 15.1% of renter households.
That places it #104 of 152 neighborhoods in Philadelphia. Judgments average 4.8% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order.
For a like-for-like read, Cedar Park and East Mount Airy score within a fraction of it. Average gross rent runs $1,389, close to the Philadelphia average.
