Wissinoming takes in 8 census tracts of Philadelphia, PA, population 42,449. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 7.8/10, in the Elevated tier. Severe burden reaches 41%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
Cost burden runs 64% against 31.4% citywide, putting Wissinoming 33.0% over its own city. 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.
The poverty rate is 31%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. The dominant input is economic stress at 7.6/10. Sitting well above the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty at 7.5/10.
Filings are well documented here: 2,314 across 8 observed tracts. On the high side is tenant-organizing strength at 7.5/10.
Filing activity peaked in 2016 at 22.4% of renter households. Among the 152 mapped neighborhoods of Philadelphia, it ranks #28 by risk, the upper third.
Judgments average 6.0% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order. Social vulnerability runs high at 8.6/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.
With little internal variation, 7.8/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
