Northern Liberties Eviction Risk: Moderate , Philadelphia

At $2,254 a month, rents run 61% over what the rest of Philadelphia commands. What pushes it up most is court filing pressure at 8.2/10.

Sitting well above the midpoint, regional political climate reads 8.2/10. The voucher gap is 25.1%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. It sits 1.4 points below the Philadelphia County average of 6.6.

On the high side, local political climate reads 8/10. Court records carry 75 eviction filings across 4 observed years.

8% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Filings peaked in 2011 at 3.4% of renter households. This ground was mapped D ("Hazardous") 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 2.5% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 65th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 1.4/10.

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.
