Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Wynnefield
The score leans hardest on supply constraint at 10/10. At $3,132 a month, rents run 124% over what the rest of Philadelphia commands.
The voucher gap is 73.8%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. Running hot, court filing pressure reads 8.2/10.
On the high side, regional political climate reads 8.2/10. It sits 1.4 points below the Philadelphia County average of 6.6.
Court records carry 9 eviction filings across 4 observed years. The worst year on record was 2012, when 6.3% of renter households were served. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground A ("Best"). 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 3.4% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 65% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.
At 22% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. Social vulnerability reads 5/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.
Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
