32% of renters spend 30% or more of household income on rent. Running hot is tenant-organizing strength at 7.5/10.
The poverty rate is 20%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. At $1,654 a month, rents sit 18% over what the rest of Philadelphia commands. Court records for this tract carry 191 eviction filings.
On the high side is housing-court posture at 7.5/10. Filing activity peaked in 2010 at 14.3% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 7.1% in 2016, is well off that peak.
