Hartranft spans 3 census tracts of Philadelphia, PA and houses 9,863 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 7.9/10, in the Elevated tier. Set annual rent against average household income of $23,087 and the ratio lands at 59%, above the conventional 30% ceiling.
The severe-burden share is 39%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. Cost burden runs 59% against 31.4% citywide, putting Hartranft 27.2% over its own city.
The dominant input is economic stress at 9.9/10. The poverty rate is 44%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. This is a renter market: 74% of occupied units are tenant-occupied.
Well under the midpoint is supply constraint, at 1.3/10. At $1,144 a month, rents sit 18% under what the rest of Philadelphia commands.
Court records carry 1,189 eviction filings across its 3 observed tracts. Running hot is eviction-process difficulty at 7.5/10. Filing activity peaked in 2012 at 27.9% of renter households.
The most recent observed rate, 10.9% in 2016, is well off that peak. That places it #26 of 152 neighborhoods in Philadelphia. The closest comparables inside the same city are Nicetown-Tioga and Parkside.
With little internal variation, 7.9/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
