Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Point Breeze
What pushes it up most is court filing pressure at 8.2/10. On the high side, regional political climate reads 8.2/10. Running hot, local political climate reads 8/10.
The filing record is not thin: 323 evictions over 4 years of observation. It sits 0.7 points below the Philadelphia County average of 6.6.
The worst year on record was 2011, when 8.9% 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 8.3% of renter households face a filing.
That is riskier than roughly 77% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Social vulnerability reads 7.9/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.
Statewide the PA average is 4.6, so this tract runs 1.3 points hotter. Of its three components the household composition measure is the most pressured. Rent takes 30% or more of income for 46% of renters.
Average gross rent is $1,404, close to the Philadelphia average.
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.
