Morrell Park Eviction Risk: Moderate , Philadelphia

The main counterweight is economic stress at 1/10. Running hot, court filing pressure reads 8.2/10.

On the high side, regional political climate reads 8.2/10. Against the Philadelphia County average of 6.6, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.4 points. Severe burden reaches 10%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.

Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 26 filings here across 4 tracked years. Average gross rent is $1,526, 9% above the Philadelphia average.

The worst year on record was 2010, when 2.3% of renter households were served. 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 1.6% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 65% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 4.6/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Poverty sits at 4%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

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.
