Crescentville is a one-tract neighborhood of Philadelphia, PA, population 4,316. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 8/10, High tier. 73% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, far above the Philadelphia rate of 31.4%.
What pushes the score up most is economic stress at 10/10. The poverty rate is 44%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.
14% 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. Running hot is eviction-process difficulty at 7.5/10. The filing record is not thin: 513 evictions logged in this tract.
Sitting well above the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength at 7.5/10. The worst year on record was 2010, when filings touched 17.5% of renter households. Recent filings have not receded much: 11.8% in 2016 against a 17.5% peak.
Among the 152 mapped neighborhoods of Philadelphia, it ranks #1 by risk, the upper third. The closest comparables inside the same city are Mantua and Franklinville.
Social vulnerability runs high at 9.8/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 8/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
