Tabor takes in 2 census tracts of Philadelphia, PA and houses 9,975 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 7.7/10, in the Elevated tier. 60% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, dramatically above the Philadelphia rate of 31.4%.
The severe-burden share is 29%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. Pulling the other way is supply constraint, at 1.2/10.
Annualized rent equals 35% of average household income here, past the 30% affordability line, which compresses the margin any screening standard has to work with. Average gross rent is $984, 30% below the Philadelphia average of $1,397.
The poverty rate is 31%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. Running hot is eviction-process difficulty at 7.5/10.
Court records carry 878 eviction filings across its 2 observed tracts. On the high side is tenant-organizing strength at 7.5/10. The worst year on record was 2012, when filings touched 14.6% of renter households.
Recent filings have not receded much: 11.5% in 2016 against a 14.6% peak. That places it #37 of 152 neighborhoods in Philadelphia.
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.
