Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Stanton
Annualized rent equals 51% of average household income of $26,875, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with. The poverty rate is 42%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. On the softer side, supply constraint reads 1.3/10.
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.
15% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. At $1,139 a month, rents run 18% under what the rest of Philadelphia commands.
The filing record is not thin: 191 evictions over 4 years of observation. Filings peaked in 2016 at 8.7% of renter households.
In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining"). 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 8.7% of renter households face a filing.
Nationally it ranks #7,836 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. Social vulnerability reads 8.4/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Statewide the PA average is 4.6, so this tract runs 3.4 points hotter.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
