Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Chopersville
The dominant input is economic stress at 10/10. The poverty rate is 55%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.
Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 1/10. Average gross rent is $929, 34% below the Philadelphia average.
Annualized rent equals 36% of average household income of $30,823, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with. On the high side, court filing pressure reads 8.2/10. It sits 1.4 points above the Philadelphia County average of 6.6.
Court records carry 264 eviction filings across 4 observed years. The worst year on record was 2011, when 6.2% of renter households were served. This ground was mapped D ("Hazardous") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Philadelphia. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above.
In a typical year about 5.5% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 91% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.
