Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Tacony
70% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, well clear of the Philadelphia County average of 49.1%. Set annual rent against average income of $39,939 and the ratio lands at 45%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. The score leans hardest on court filing pressure at 8.2/10.
Running hot, regional political climate reads 8.2/10. On the high side, local political climate reads 8/10.
The poverty rate is 21%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. The filing record is not thin: 64 evictions over 4 years of observation. The worst year on record was 2010, when 16.7% of renter households were served.
At $1,512 a month, rents run 8% over what the rest of Philadelphia commands. 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 11.1% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 85% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 9/10.
Statewide the PA average is 4.6, so this tract runs 2.5 points hotter. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the most pressured.
Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
