Ivy Hill maps to a single census tract in Philadelphia, PA, population 4,311. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 6.2/10, in the Elevated tier. 49% 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 76% against 31.4% citywide, putting Ivy Hill 44.8% over its own city. Pulling the other way is supply constraint, at 2.4/10.
On the high side is eviction-process difficulty at 7.5/10. Court records for this tract carry 286 eviction filings. Sitting well above the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength at 7.5/10.
Filing activity peaked in 2010 at 12.6% of renter households. Recent filings have not receded much: 8.1% in 2016 against a 12.6% peak.
That places it #79 of 152 neighborhoods in Philadelphia. Only 21% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. The closest comparables inside the same city are Girard Estates and West Oak Lane.
Average gross rent runs $1,325, close to the Philadelphia average.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 6.2/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
