Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Passyunk Square
The clearest offset is economic stress at 1.4/10. At $1,828 a month, rents run 31% over what the rest of Philadelphia commands.
20% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 8.2/10. Running hot, regional political climate reads 8.2/10.
It sits 1.4 points below the Philadelphia County average of 6.6. Court records carry 42 eviction filings across 4 observed years. The worst year on record was 2012, when 2.8% of renter households were served.
In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground D ("Hazardous"). 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 1.8% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 65% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.
CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 5.2/10.
