Haddington Eviction Risk: Elevated

4 census tracts · pop 14,574 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 7.9/10 · range 7.6–8

Haddington takes in 4 census tracts of Philadelphia, PA, population 14,574. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 7.9/10, Elevated tier. roughly one in two of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, well above the Philadelphia rate of 31.4%.

Annualized rent equals 41% of average household income here, past the 30% affordability line, which compresses the margin any screening standard has to work with. Pulling the other way is supply constraint, at 1.4/10. The poverty rate is 33%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

Severe burden reaches 21%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. Running hot is economic stress at 8.2/10.

At $1,101 a month, rents sit 21% under what the rest of Philadelphia commands. Filings are well documented here: 1,576 across 4 observed tracts. Sitting well above the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty at 7.5/10.

Filing activity peaked in 2016 at 15.8% of renter households. Among the 152 mapped neighborhoods of Philadelphia, it ranks #26 by risk, the upper third.

Judgments average 5.6% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order. The closest comparables inside the same city are Parkside and Nicetown-Tioga.

Social vulnerability runs high at 8.2/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.

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.
