Juniata spans 3 census tracts of Philadelphia, PA and houses 25,271 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 8/10, in the High tier. Severe burden reaches 51%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
64% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, far above the Philadelphia rate of 31.4%. The poverty rate is 37%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.
Set annual rent against average household income of $33,265 and the ratio lands at 38%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. The clearest offset is supply constraint, at 1.2/10.
Sitting well above the midpoint is economic stress at 8.5/10. Average gross rent is $1,058, 24% below the Philadelphia average of $1,397. Court records carry 847 eviction filings across its 3 observed tracts.
On the high side is eviction-process difficulty at 7.5/10. The worst year on record was 2011, when filings touched 9.4% of renter households.
Recent filings have not receded much: 6.2% in 2016 against a 9.4% peak. That places it #1 of 152 neighborhoods in Philadelphia. Social vulnerability runs high at 9.2/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.
With little internal variation, 8/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
