Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Sharswood
The clearest offset is supply constraint at 1/10. The severe-burden share is 26%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. This is renter territory: 81% of occupied units are tenant-occupied.
The poverty rate is 35%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Sitting well above the midpoint, economic stress reads 8.6/10. On the high side, court filing pressure reads 8.2/10.
It sits 1.4 points above the Philadelphia County average of 6.6. 57% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, higher than the Philadelphia County average of 49.1%. Court records carry 122 eviction filings across 4 observed years.
The worst year on record was 2010, when 12.9% 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 10.1% of renter households face a filing.
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.
