Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Oxford Circle
The score leans hardest on court filing pressure at 8.2/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, regional political climate reads 8.2/10.
Severe burden reaches 17%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Running hot, local political climate reads 8/10.
The filing record is not thin: 178 evictions over 4 years of observation. Against the Philadelphia County average of 6.6, this tract reads safer for landlords by 0.9 points. Filings peaked in 2011 at 11.6% of renter households.
In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground B ("Still Desirable"). 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 10.6% of renter households face a filing.
Nationally it ranks #21,564 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. Social vulnerability reads 9.2/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.
