West Kensington Eviction Risk: Elevated

The poverty rate is 39%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. The clearest offset is supply constraint, at 1/10.

42% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, well above the Philadelphia rate of 31.4%. Annualized rent equals 33% of average household income here, past the 30% affordability line, which compresses the margin any screening standard has to work with.

The severe-burden share is 20%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. On the high side is economic stress at 8.2/10. Filings are well documented here: 570 across 2 observed tracts.

Running hot is eviction-process difficulty at 7.5/10. Filing activity peaked in 2012 at 16.8% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 5.7% in 2016, is well off that peak.

That places it #37 of 152 neighborhoods in Philadelphia. Social vulnerability runs high at 9.8/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.

The area figure travels well to individual addresses here, though the per-tract table below still carries the detail. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
