Gayborhood is a 3-tract neighborhood of Philadelphia, PA, population 9,017. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 6.6/10, in the Elevated tier. Cost burden runs 45% against 31.4% citywide, putting Gayborhood 13.2% over its own city.
This is a renter market: 80% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. Scores across the 3 constituent tracts range from 5.2 to 7.8. A 2.6-point internal spread means block-level underwriting beats area-level here.
17% 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 strongest single driver of the headline number is eviction-process difficulty at 7.5/10.
The poverty rate is 21%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Running hot is tenant-organizing strength at 7.5/10.
At $1,646 a month, rents sit 18% over what the rest of Philadelphia commands. Filings are well documented here: 247 across 2 observed tracts.
Sitting well above the midpoint is housing-court posture at 7.5/10. The worst year on record was 2012, when filings touched 4.3% of renter households.
The most recent observed rate, 1.6% in 2016, is well off that peak. Among the 152 mapped neighborhoods of Philadelphia, it ranks #67 by risk, the middle third. The closest comparables inside the same city are Wynnefield and West Central Germantown.
Underwrite the address, not the area: with 2.6 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.
