Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Yorktown
Against Philadelphia County at 49.1%, 78% of renters here are cost-burdened. What pushes it up most is economic stress at 10/10. Set annual rent against average income of $21,211 and the ratio lands at 50%, above the conventional 30% ceiling.
The poverty rate is 44%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Average gross rent is $878, 37% below the Philadelphia average.
Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 1/10. 79% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby.
Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 8.2/10. Against the Philadelphia County average of 6.6, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.4 points. The filing record is not thin: 335 evictions over 4 years of observation.
The worst year on record was 2010, when 12.8% of renter households were served. This ground was mapped D ("Hazardous") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Philadelphia. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
