Hunting Park takes in 2 census tracts of Philadelphia, PA, population 6,748. Scored across those inputs it reaches 8/10, placing it in the High tier. The severe-burden share is 61%. 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 76% against 31.4% citywide, putting Hunting Park 44.5% over its own city. What pushes the score up most is economic stress at 10/10. The poverty rate is 57%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest.
Set annual rent against average household income of $32,053 and the ratio lands at 44%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. Well under the midpoint is supply constraint, at 1.6/10.
Scores across the 2 constituent tracts range from 6.6 to 8. A 1.4-point internal spread means block-level underwriting beats area-level here. Court records for this tract carry 276 eviction filings.
Running hot is eviction-process difficulty at 7.5/10. Average gross rent is $1,182, 15% below the Philadelphia average of $1,397.
Filing activity peaked in 2016 at 7.1% of renter households. That places it #1 of 152 neighborhoods in Philadelphia.

Underwrite the address, not the area: with 1.4 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
