Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Strawberry Mansion
At $644 a month, rents run 54% under what the rest of Philadelphia commands. Severe burden reaches 30%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.
The poverty rate is 41%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. On the softer side, supply constraint reads 1/10. Annualized rent equals 34% of average household income of $22,720, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with.
70% 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. Running hot, court filing pressure reads 8.2/10. It sits 1.4 points above the Philadelphia County average of 6.6.
Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 729 filings here across 4 tracked years. Cost burden runs 45% here against 49.1% across Philadelphia County.
The worst year on record was 2011, when 18.5% 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.
In a typical year about 16.4% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #7,836 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.
CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 9.3/10. Statewide the PA average is 4.6, so this tract runs 3.4 points hotter.
