Wyoming Eviction Risk: High

2 census tracts · pop 10,178 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 8/10 · range 8–8

Wyoming takes in 2 census tracts of Philadelphia, PA, population 10,178. The Eviction Risk Score is 8/10, in the High tier. 54% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, dramatically above the Philadelphia rate of 31.4%.

Severe burden reaches 38%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. The strongest single driver of the headline number is economic stress at 10/10. The poverty rate is 47%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

Annualized rent equals 37% of average household income here, past the 30% affordability line, which compresses the margin any screening standard has to work with. Running cool is supply constraint, at 1.1/10. At $1,056 a month, rents sit 24% under what the rest of Philadelphia commands.

Court records carry 760 eviction filings across its 2 observed tracts. On the high side is eviction-process difficulty at 7.5/10. Filing activity peaked in 2012 at 16.9% of renter households.

Recent filings have not receded much: 12.9% in 2016 against a 16.9% peak. Among the 152 mapped neighborhoods of Philadelphia, it ranks #1 by risk, the upper third. Social vulnerability runs high at 9.3/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.

With little internal variation, 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.
