Historical context · 1930s redlining

HOLC grade: D: Hazardous (Redlined)

This tract sits within an area graded by the Home Owners' Loan Corporation in the 1930s. Grade D meant Black, immigrant, and poor neighborhoods systematically denied mortgage credit. These designations suppressed minority homeownership for generations and remain a documented predictor of present-day eviction filings and rent burden.

Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Stanton

The poverty rate is 50%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Average gross rent is $872, 38% below the Philadelphia average.

On the softer side, supply constraint reads 1/10. This is renter territory: 81% of occupied units are tenant-occupied.

Annualized rent equals 34% of average household income of $30,915, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with. 18% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Running hot, court filing pressure reads 8.2/10.

Against the Philadelphia County average of 6.6, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.4 points. Against Philadelphia County at 49.1%, 56% of renters here are cost-burdened. The filing record is not thin: 300 evictions over 4 years of observation.

The worst year on record was 2016, when 10.0% of renter households were served. 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.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
