Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Wissinoming
32% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Pulling hardest the other way is supply constraint at 1/10. At $904 a month, rents run 35% under what the rest of Philadelphia commands.
Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 8.2/10. The poverty rate is 28%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Running hot, regional political climate reads 8.2/10.
It sits 1.4 points above the Philadelphia County average of 6.6. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 234 filings here across 4 tracked years.
Filings peaked in 2011 at 10.1% of renter households. 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 9.1% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #7,836 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 9.7/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.
