Manayunk maps to a single census tract in Philadelphia, PA and houses 3,520 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 5.2/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. The clearest offset is economic stress, at 1.6/10.
At $1,680 a month, rents sit 20% over what the rest of Philadelphia commands. Severe burden reaches 14%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
Running hot is eviction-process difficulty at 7.5/10. 37% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, ahead of the Philadelphia rate of 31.4%.
The filing record is not thin: 31 evictions logged in this tract. Sitting well above the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength at 7.5/10.
The worst year on record was 2010, when filings touched 1.1% of renter households. Recent filings have not receded much: 0.7% in 2016 against a 1.1% peak. Among the 152 mapped neighborhoods of Philadelphia, it ranks #125 by risk, the lower third.
The closest comparables inside the same city are Society Hill and Highland. Poverty sits at 6%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
One tract means one number: 5.2/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
