Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Spring Garden
Against Philadelphia County at 49.1%, 35% of renters here are cost-burdened. 79% 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. The score leans hardest on court filing pressure at 8.2/10.
Running hot, regional political climate reads 8.2/10. Against the Philadelphia County average of 6.6, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.4 points.
Sitting well above the midpoint, local political climate reads 8/10. The voucher gap is 20.6%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.
Severe burden reaches 12%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. That is riskier than roughly 65% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Social vulnerability reads 4.2/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.
Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured.
