Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Tioga Park
The score leans hardest on economic stress at 10/10. The poverty rate is 50%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Severe burden reaches 31%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.
Set annual rent against average income of $47,529 and the ratio lands at 37%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. This is renter territory: 78% of occupied units are tenant-occupied.
On the high side, court filing pressure reads 8.2/10. Running hot, regional political climate reads 8.2/10. Against the Philadelphia County average of 6.6, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.4 points.
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.
