Chopersville spans 6 census tracts of Philadelphia, PA and houses 24,159 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 8/10, in the High tier. Severe burden reaches 42%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
Against a Philadelphia baseline of 31.4%, 63% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. The dominant input is economic stress at 10/10. The poverty rate is 52%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.
Set annual rent against average household income of $29,290 and the ratio lands at 43%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. Running cool is supply constraint, at 1.2/10. The 6 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 5.8 to 8, a 2.2-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address.
At $1,058 a month, rents sit 24% under what the rest of Philadelphia commands. Filings are well documented here: 1,114 across 5 observed tracts.
On the high side is eviction-process difficulty at 7.5/10. The worst year on record was 2012, when filings touched 9.9% of renter households. Recent filings have not receded much: 6.6% in 2016 against a 9.9% peak.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 8 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
