· range 8–8
Franklinville takes in 3 census tracts of Philadelphia, PA, population 13,978. Scored across those inputs it reaches 8/10, placing it in the High tier. The severe-burden share is 43%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.
Against a Philadelphia baseline of 31.4%, roughly one in two of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. The poverty rate is 39%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest.
Pulling the other way is supply constraint, at 1/10. Annualized rent equals 37% of average household income here, past the 30% affordability line, which compresses the margin any screening standard has to work with. Average gross rent is $1,006, 28% below the Philadelphia average of $1,397.
Sitting well above the midpoint is economic stress at 8.4/10. Court records carry 485 eviction filings across its 2 observed tracts. On the high side is eviction-process difficulty at 7.5/10.
Filing activity peaked in 2012 at 8.4% of renter households. Recent filings have not receded much: 6.9% in 2016 against a 8.4% peak.
That places it #1 of 152 neighborhoods in Philadelphia.
The area figure travels well to individual addresses here, though the per-tract table below still carries the detail. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
