Mayfair is a 2-tract neighborhood of Philadelphia, PA, population 15,725. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 7.4/10, Elevated tier. Cost burden runs 48% against 31.4% citywide, putting Mayfair 16.5% over its own city.
26% 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. The poverty rate is 27%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. What pushes the score up most is eviction-process difficulty at 7.5/10.
Sitting well above the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength at 7.5/10. Filings are well documented here: 388 across 2 observed tracts. On the high side is housing-court posture at 7.5/10.
The worst year on record was 2016, when filings touched 7.3% of renter households. Average gross rent is $1,509, 8% above the Philadelphia average of $1,397. That places it #47 of 152 neighborhoods in Philadelphia.
Judgments average 4.4% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order. For a like-for-like read, Fishers and Elmwood Park 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.
With little internal variation, 7.4/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
