Passyunk Square maps to a single census tract in Philadelphia, PA and houses 2,971 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 5.2/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. The main counterweight is economic stress, at 1.4/10.
At $1,828 a month, rents sit 31% over what the rest of Philadelphia commands. The severe-burden share is 20%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.
32% of renters spend 30% or more of household income on rent. On the high side is eviction-process difficulty at 7.5/10.
The filing record is not thin: 42 evictions logged in this tract. Running hot is tenant-organizing strength at 7.5/10.
The worst year on record was 2012, when filings touched 2.8% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 0.9% in 2016, is well off that peak.
Among the 152 mapped neighborhoods of Philadelphia, it ranks #125 by risk, the lower third. For a like-for-like read, Society Hill and Highland score within a fraction of it.
Against average income of $125,781, annual rent is only 17%, a wide affordability cushion. Poverty sits at 6%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. 46% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
One tract means one number: 5.2/10 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.
