Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Richmond
What pushes it up most is economic stress at 10/10. The poverty rate is 50%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Cost burden runs 62% here against 49.1% across Philadelphia County.
Set annual rent against average income of $37,917 and the ratio lands at 39%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. This is renter territory: 67% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. On the high side, court filing pressure reads 8.2/10.
Sitting well above the midpoint, regional political climate reads 8.2/10. Against the Philadelphia County average of 6.6, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.4 points.
Court records carry 326 eviction filings across 4 observed years. Average gross rent is $1,237, 11% below the Philadelphia average. The worst year on record was 2010, when 12.8% 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.
