Old City Eviction Risk: Moderate , Philadelphia

At $2,242 a month, rents run 60% over what the rest of Philadelphia commands. The main counterweight is economic stress at 1.5/10.

Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 8.2/10. The voucher gap is 24.4%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. Running hot, regional political climate reads 8.2/10.

It sits 1.4 points below the Philadelphia County average of 6.6. Severe burden reaches 10%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.

That is riskier than roughly 65% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 2.2/10.

Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured. Poverty sits at 6%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

Annual rent works out to 25% of average household income of $108,203. 62% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

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.
