Logan Square is a 3-tract neighborhood of Philadelphia, PA and houses 9,279 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 5.3/10, Moderate tier. At $2,243 a month, rents sit 61% over what the rest of Philadelphia commands.
76% 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 voucher gap is 24.5%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. The main counterweight is economic stress, at 2/10.
Cost burden runs 39% against 31.4% citywide, putting Logan Square 8.0% over its own city. 17% 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. Sitting well above the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty at 7.5/10.
Court records for this tract carry 86 eviction filings. Running hot is tenant-organizing strength at 7.5/10.
Filing activity peaked in 2012 at 2.0% of renter households. Recent filings have not receded much: 1.6% in 2016 against a 2.0% peak. That places it #118 of 152 neighborhoods in Philadelphia.
The area figure travels well to individual addresses here, though the per-tract table below still carries the detail. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
