Historical context · 1930s redlining

HOLC grade: D: Hazardous (Redlined)

This tract sits within an area graded by the Home Owners' Loan Corporation in the 1930s. Grade D meant Black, immigrant, and poor neighborhoods systematically denied mortgage credit. These designations suppressed minority homeownership for generations and remain a documented predictor of present-day eviction filings and rent burden.

Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Hartranft

Annualized rent equals 61% of average household income of $22,621, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with. The dominant input is economic stress at 10/10.

The poverty rate is 47%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. This is renter territory: 86% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 1.4/10.

Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 8.2/10. It sits 1.4 points above the Philadelphia County average of 6.6. Cost burden runs 56% here against 49.1% across Philadelphia County.

At $1,159 a month, rents run 17% under what the rest of Philadelphia commands. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 465 filings here across 4 tracked years. Filings peaked in 2010 at 15.5% of renter households.

This ground was mapped D ("Hazardous") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Philadelphia. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
