Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Kingsessing
The score leans hardest on economic stress at 10/10. Against Philadelphia County at 49.1%, 66% of renters here are cost-burdened.
The poverty rate is 41%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Annualized rent equals 41% of average household income of $27,206, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with.
Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 1/10. Average gross rent is $934, 33% below the Philadelphia average. 68% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby.
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.
Court records carry 283 eviction filings across 4 observed years. Filings peaked in 2012 at 9.6% of renter households.
In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today. In a typical year about 8.5% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 91st percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.
Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
