Holme Circle is a one-tract neighborhood of Philadelphia, PA, population 3,475. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 5.2/10, in the Moderate tier. 48% 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.
Cost burden runs about three-quarters against 31.4% citywide, putting Holme Circle 41.1% over its own city. The main counterweight is economic stress, at 1.3/10.
On the softer side is supply constraint, at 2/10. Court records for this tract carry 170 eviction filings. On the high side is eviction-process difficulty at 7.5/10.
Filing activity peaked in 2011 at 28.1% of renter households. At $1,263 a month, rents sit 10% under what the rest of Philadelphia commands. The most recent observed rate, 15.8% in 2016, is well off that peak.
That places it #125 of 152 neighborhoods in Philadelphia. At 6% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. For a like-for-like read, Society Hill and Highland score within a fraction of it.
Rent takes 18% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 5.2/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
