Wynnefield Heights Eviction Risk: Elevated
3 census tracts · pop 4,040 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 7.1/10 · range 6.5–7.2
Wynnefield Heights spans 3 census tracts of Philadelphia, PA, population 4,040. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 7.1/10, in the Elevated tier. 60% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, far above the Philadelphia rate of 31.4%.
100% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building two streets over. Annualized rent equals 39% 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 24%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. What pushes the score up most is eviction-process difficulty at 7.5/10.
The poverty rate is 21%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. Running hot is tenant-organizing strength at 7.5/10.
Filings are well documented here: 447 across 2 observed tracts. On the high side is housing-court posture at 7.5/10. At $1,570 a month, rents sit 12% over what the rest of Philadelphia commands.
Filing activity peaked in 2016 at 21.1% of renter households. Among the 152 mapped neighborhoods of Philadelphia, it ranks #56 by risk, the middle third.
Judgments average 2.9% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order.
With little internal variation, 7.1/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
