Stanton takes in 7 census tracts of Philadelphia, PA and houses 21,860 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 7.7/10, in the Elevated tier. roughly one in two of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, markedly above the Philadelphia rate of 31.4%.
The poverty rate is 36%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. The main counterweight is supply constraint, at 1.2/10. The severe-burden share is 26%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.
Annualized rent equals 33% of average household income here, past the 30% affordability line, which compresses the margin any screening standard has to work with. At $1,023 a month, rents sit 27% under what the rest of Philadelphia commands. Sitting well above the midpoint is economic stress at 8.1/10.
Filings are well documented here: 1,684 across 7 observed tracts. Running hot is eviction-process difficulty at 7.5/10. Filing activity peaked in 2016 at 22.2% of renter households.
Among the 152 mapped neighborhoods of Philadelphia, it ranks #37 by risk, the upper third. Judgments average 5.3% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order. The closest comparables inside the same city are Lawncrest and Tabor.
Social vulnerability runs high at 8.7/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.
With little internal variation, 7.7/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
