Sitting well above the midpoint, economic stress reads 6.9/10. Filings peaked in 2005 at 17.6% of renter households. 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.

In a typical year about 11.1% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #18,163 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. Social vulnerability reads 7.1/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.
