3 census tracts · pop 10,659 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 6/10
· range 5.3–7.6
Lagrange is a 3-tract neighborhood of Philadelphia, PA, population 10,659. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 6/10, Elevated tier. Cost burden runs 41% against 31.4% citywide, putting Lagrange 10.0% over its own city.
The 3 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 5.3 to 7.6, a 2.3-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address. Severe burden reaches 23%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
69% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building two streets over. The main counterweight is supply constraint, at 2/10.
On the high side is eviction-process difficulty at 7.5/10. Court records carry 548 eviction filings across its 3 observed tracts. Running hot is tenant-organizing strength at 7.5/10.
Average gross rent is $1,194, 15% below the Philadelphia average of $1,397. The worst year on record was 2016, when filings touched 25.0% of renter households. That places it #85 of 152 neighborhoods in Philadelphia.
Judgments average 5.6% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order. For a like-for-like read, Byberry and Philmont score within a fraction of it. Social vulnerability runs high at 8.7/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.
Underwrite the address, not the area: with 2.3 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.
