Powelton Village Eviction Risk: High , Philadelphia

30% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. The poverty rate is 41%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.

89% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby. Annualized rent equals 41% of average household income of $35,139, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with. Running cool, supply constraint reads 1.6/10.

On the high side, court filing pressure reads 8.2/10. It sits 1.4 points above the Philadelphia County average of 6.6. Court records carry 174 eviction filings across 4 observed years.

Average gross rent is $1,198, 14% below the Philadelphia average. Filings peaked in 2012 at 5.9% of renter households. This ground was mapped D ("Hazardous") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Philadelphia. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above.

In a typical year about 3.5% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #7,836 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 8.8/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Statewide the PA average is 4.6, so this tract runs 3.4 points hotter.

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.
