Port Richmond Polish Neighborhood Eviction Risk: Moderate

Running cool is supply constraint, at 1.6/10. 31% of renters spend 30% or more of household income on rent. Court records carry 217 eviction filings across its 2 observed tracts.

Sitting well above the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty at 7.5/10. Average gross rent is $1,179, 16% below the Philadelphia average of $1,397.

Severe burden reaches 9%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. The worst year on record was 2012, when filings touched 7.1% of renter households. Recent filings have not receded much: 5.5% in 2016 against a 7.1% peak.

That places it #118 of 152 neighborhoods in Philadelphia. Only 25% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. The closest comparables inside the same city are Packer Park and Roxborough.

Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

With little internal variation, 5.3/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
