Nicetown Eviction Risk: High , Philadelphia

Against Philadelphia County at 49.1%, 64% of renters here are cost-burdened. The clearest offset is supply constraint at 1/10.

Set annual rent against average income of $28,559 and the ratio lands at 39%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. Average gross rent is $921, 34% below the Philadelphia average. This is renter territory: 73% of occupied units are tenant-occupied.

Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 8.2/10. The poverty rate is 28%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.

On the high side, regional political climate reads 8.2/10. Against the Philadelphia County average of 6.6, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.4 points.

The filing record is not thin: 413 evictions over 4 years of observation. The worst year on record was 2011, when 11.6% of renter households were served.

This ground was mapped C ("Definitely Declining") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Philadelphia. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above. In a typical year about 10.5% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 91st percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 9.9/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

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.
