Eastwick is a 3-tract neighborhood of Philadelphia, PA, population 8,774. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 6.9/10, Elevated tier. Cost burden runs 54% against 31.4% citywide, putting Eastwick 23.0% over its own city.
29% 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. The 3 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 6.6 to 8, a 1.4-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address.
What pushes the score up most is eviction-process difficulty at 7.5/10. The poverty rate is 23%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.
Sitting well above the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength at 7.5/10. Court records carry 868 eviction filings across its 3 observed tracts. Running hot is housing-court posture at 7.5/10.
The worst year on record was 2011, when filings touched 23.8% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 11.4% in 2016, is well off that peak.
That places it #62 of 152 neighborhoods in Philadelphia. Social vulnerability runs high at 7.7/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. Average gross rent runs $1,428, close to the Philadelphia average.
Underwrite the address, not the area: with 1.4 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
