HOLC grade: B: Still Desirable

This tract sits within an area graded by the Home Owners' Loan Corporation in the 1930s. Grade B meant middle-class areas with mortgage access. 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 Tabor

What pushes it up most is economic stress at 10/10. Severe burden reaches 34%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. The poverty rate is 42%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.

Annualized rent equals 41% of average household income of $34,420, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with. On the softer side, supply constraint reads 1.5/10.

Sitting well above the midpoint, 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.

Average gross rent is $1,172, 16% below the Philadelphia average. Court records carry 420 eviction filings across 4 observed years. The worst year on record was 2011, when 9.9% of renter households were served.

This ground was mapped B ("Still Desirable") 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 9.9% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 91% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

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