Severe burden reaches 31%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. The main counterweight is supply constraint, at 1/10. This is a renter market: 66% of occupied units are tenant-occupied.
At $1,077 a month, rents sit 23% under what the rest of Philadelphia commands. The poverty rate is 22%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. Sitting well above the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty at 7.5/10.
Court records for this tract carry 271 eviction filings. Running hot is tenant-organizing strength at 7.5/10.
Filing activity peaked in 2012 at 17.3% of renter households. Recent filings have not receded much: 13.3% in 2016 against a 17.3% peak.
Among the 152 mapped neighborhoods of Philadelphia, it ranks #47 by risk, the upper third. The closest comparables inside the same city are Elmwood Park and North Central.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 7.4/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
