Parkside is a one-tract neighborhood of Philadelphia, PA and houses 4,049 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 7.9/10, in the Elevated tier. Cost burden runs 44% against 31.4% citywide, putting Parkside 13.0% over its own city.
Average gross rent is $882, 37% below the Philadelphia average of $1,397. The main counterweight is supply constraint, at 1/10.
The poverty rate is 28%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. 18% 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.
On the high side is eviction-process difficulty at 7.5/10. Court records for this tract carry 253 eviction filings. Sitting well above the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength at 7.5/10.
The worst year on record was 2011, when filings touched 10.1% of renter households. Recent filings have not receded much: 11.7% in 2016 against a 10.1% peak.
That places it #26 of 152 neighborhoods in Philadelphia. The closest comparables inside the same city are Nicetown-Tioga and Haddington. Social vulnerability runs high at 8.4/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.
One tract means one number: 7.9/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
